PREFACE. 


THE  first  edition  of  this  work,  which  is  mainly  an  abridgment  of  the 
AMERICAX  DICTIONARY  of  Dr.  WEBSTER,  was  published  in  1848,  under 
the  editorial  care  of  Dr.  Webster's  son,  Mr.  WILLIAM  G.  WEBSTKR,  who, 
nine  years  later,  or  in  1857,  prepared  a  very  careful  revision  and  improve- 
ment of  the  same.  The  design,  as  stated  by  Mr.  Webster  in  the  Preface 
to  the  latter  edition,  was  "  to  furnish  a  vocabulary  of  the  more  common 
words  which  constitute  the  body  of  our  language,  with  many  technical 
terms  in  the  sciences  and  arts." 

With  the  view  of  bringing  it  in  all  important  respects  into  conformity 
with  the  revised  edition  of  the  American  Dictionary  published  in  18G4, 
the  work  has  now  been  reviewed  and  corrected  throughout  by  the  sub- 
scriber, who  has  availed  himself  of  the  opportunity  thus  presented  to 
introduce  several  new  features,  although  he  has  adhered  to  the  general 
plan  of  the  previous  editions.  Of  the  additions  which  have  been  made, 
the  most  important  are  the  Principles  of  Pronunciation  and  the  Rules  for 
Spelling,  in  the  Introduction,  and,  in  the  Appendix,  the  pronouncing  vocab- 
ularies of  Greek  and  Latin  Names,  of  Scripture  Names,  and  of  Modern 
Biographical  Names,  the  pronouncing  and  explanatory  list  of  Christian 
Names,  the  explanatory  table  of  Arbitrary  Signs  used  in  Writing  and 
Printing,  and  the  list  of  Prefixes  and  Suffixes  Distributed  throughout 
the  Dictionary  are  upward  of  300  wood-cuts,  skillfully  engraved,  and 
designed  to  serve  not  as  mere  embellishments  of  the  book,  but  as  verita- 
ble illustrations  of  the  words  under  which  they  are  given.  The  vocab- 
ulary has  been  considerably  enlarged,  and  now  comprises  an  aggregate  of 
nearly  27,000  words,  all  of  which  are  in  current  or  occasional  use  at 
the  present  day.  To  many  of  the  words  are  attached  numerical  references 
to  the  principles  of  pronunciation  or  the  rules  of  orthography  which  these 
words  exemplify.  Etymologies  have  now  -and  then  been  introduced  in 
the  hope  of  attracting  the  attention  of  young  students,  and  of  stimulat- 
ing in  them  a  desire  to  learn  more  of  the  origin,  structure,  and  affini- 
ties of  our  language.. 

In  the  hands  of  an  accomplished  teacher,  this  volume  may  be  made 
highly  useful  in  schools,  since  it  furnishes  material  for  a  valuable  course  of 
exercises  on  words,  including  their  orthography,  pronunciation,  definition, 
composition,  syllabication,  and  the  like.

V  When  one  letter  of  an  improper  diphthong,  or  of  a  triphthong,  is  marked,  it  is  to  be  taken  as  repre- 
Bentinp;  the  sound  of  the  combination,  and  the  Tetter  or  letters  which  are  not  marked  are  to  be  regarded 
as  silent ;  as  in  dim.  clean,  ceil,  people,  rrmte,  soul,  ioiirnnl,  tow,  &c.  The  combined  letters  ce,  ci,  sci,  se,  «t, 
or  li,  occurrinK  before  a  vowel  in  a  syllable  immediately  preceded  by  an  accented  syllable,  are  generally 
equivalent  to  sA  ;  as  in  o'cean,  ceta'ceoug,  so'rial,  loRi'ctan,  suspi'ci'on.  auspi'ctous,  con'sctence,  nau'^eous, 
contmver'st'al,  riissen'.tion,  ini'tt'al,  ora'fion,  flcti'fjous,  &c.  Such  syllables  are  not  always  resnelled.  as,  in 
general,  they  will  naturally  be  pronounced  correctly  by  an  English  speaker.  But  in  all  exceptional,  doubt- 
ful, or  difficult  cases,  the  appropriate  respelling  is  used.  • 

ACCENT.  —  The  principal  accent  is  denoted  by  a  heavy  mark  :  the  secondary,  by  a  lighter  mark  :  as 
in  Su'perintenrt'ent.  Jn  the  division  of  words"  into  syllables,  these  marks,  befidea  performing  their 
proper  office,  supply  the  place  of  the  hyphen,  except  in  some  compound  and  derivative  words.

§  1.  Regular  long  f>ound,  marked  A,  a,  as  in 
Sle  ;  beard  also  in  pain,  day,  gaol,  gauge,  aye, 


sented,  the  initial  sound  should  always  be  thafc 
of  a  in  fate  (the  radical  without  the  vanish  ; 
see  §  1),  though  the  final  impression  upon  -the 
ear  is  that  of  an  open  or  broad  sound,  in  con- 
sequence of  the  "  opening  power  "  of  the  r. 

Some,  however,  especially  in  New  England, 
give  to  words  of  this  class  a  slightly  different 


break,  veil,  whey,  &c.  j  pound  ;  namely,  that  of  our  short  a  before  r,  as  in 

NOTE.  —  This  sound  of  a  is  in  most  cases  ',  a>ri  pronounced  tier,  with  a  somewhat  lengthened 

diphthongal,  having  a  slight "  vanish  "  in  e  an- j  sound  of  the  a.     This  sound  is  rather  more 

nexed  to  its  "  radical "  or  initial  sound,  as  in  ,  open  than  the  one  mentioned  above,  and  is  apt, 


gert  that  it  is  a  distinct,  though  very  similar, 
element,  being  like  the  other  long  vowels  as 
compared  with  their  true  corresponding  short 
sounds,  of  a  slightly  less  open  quality. — See 
§9. 


§  2.  Regular  short  sound,  marked  A,  a,  as 
in  adit ;  heard  also  in  plaid,  bade,  &c. 


other  in  smoothness  and  grace. 

S  4.  Sound  of  the  Italian  a,  marked  A,  ii, 
as  in  arm,  father,  far  ;  heard  also  in  ah,  hearth, 
aunt,  guard,  are,  &c. 


NOTE.  —  The  Italian  a  is  the  most  open  of  all 
the  vowel  sounds,  and  is  one  of  the  extremes  of 
the  vowel  scale,  the  other  extremes  being  C  and 
NOTE.  —  This  is  a  distinct  element  from  the   go.    In  its  formation,  the  mouth  and  throat  are 
long  a.     With  respect   to  its  position  iu   the   opened  widely,  and  the  tongue  is  left  in  its  nat- 
Bcale  of  sounds,  it  is  a  palatal  vowel,  interme-    ural  position"  of  rest. 


diate  between  a  and  ?,  the  tongue  being  raised 
higher  than  for  a,  aud  not  so  high  as  for  £. 

OCCASIONAL  SOUNDS  OF  A. 
§  3.  Sound  of  a  before  r,  in  such  words  as 
air,  rare,  fare,  bear,  prayer,  parent,  marked  A,  a. 
According  to  Smart,  this  clement  is  our  long 


§  5.  Sound  of  a  in  certain  words  (chiefly 
monosyllables)  ending  in  ff,  ft,  ss,  st,  sk,  sp, 
with  a  few  in  nee,  and  >it,  marked  A,  a,  as  in 
staff",  graft,  pass,  last,  ask,  gasp,  chdnee,  chant, 
&c. 

NOTE.  —  This  is  a  shortened  or  brief  form  of 


a  in  fate,  and  owes  all  its  peculiarity  to  the  '  the  Italian  a.  A  majority  of  good  speakers, 
subsequent  r.  Such,  also  is  the  statement  of  i  botn  >n  England  and  America,  give  this  sound  to

The  sound  of  r  in  these  words  is  what  Smart  ^^S^S^^^T^^ 
calls  a  '•guttural  vibration,-'  — a  sound  which  words  witu  :ts  phort,  flat  sound  (see  §  2),  saying 
he  represents  by  ur,  and  Dr.  Webster  by  er.  ,  stiff,  graft,  pass,  &c.,  — a  practice  which  is  not 
In  care  we  touch  lightly  on  the  a  sound  (the  j  to  be  commended,  though  it  is  too  general  to  be 
radical  alone,  without  the  vanish  ;  see  §  1),  and  j  condemned  as  unsupported  by  good  usage, 
then  pass  fully  and  strongly  into  the  guttural !  §  6.  Sound  of  broad  T,  marked  A,  a,  as  in 
vibration  (ca'ur  or  c.Ver),  drawing  the  two  all,  talk,  haul,  swarm ;  heard  also  in  sfiuce,  awe, 
as  closely  as  possible  into  the  same  syllable.  georgic,ff>rk,  grdat.  bdught,  &c. 
Another  mode  of  identifying  the  sound  in  NOTE. —  This  sound  is  formed  by  a  depres- 
qaestion  is  that  of  prolonging  our  short  e  be-  sion  of  the  larynx,  and  a  consequent  retrac- 
fore  r.  Thus,  ther  (with  the  e  as  in  thfn),  tion  of  the  tongue,  which  enlarges  the  cavity 
drawn  out  into  long  quantity,  gives  us  there  of  the  mouth  posteriorly,

VII 


NOTE.  —  This  is  the  extreme  short  sound  of 
broad  a,  and  coincides  with  the  sound  of  o  in 
not.  It  differ!),  however,  in  quality  as  well  as 
quantity  from  broad  a,  being  a  more  open 
sound  ;  that  is  to  say,  the  aperture  of  the  lips 
and  the  internal  cavity  of  the  mouth,  though 
of  the  same  shape  in  both  cases,  are  somewhat 
larger  for  the  former  (a)  than  for  the  latter  (a), 
•while  the  position  of 'the  tongue  remains  un- 
altered throughout. 

There  is  a  sound  of  a,  as  heard  in  fait,  al- 
though, &c.,  which  is  intermediate  between  that 
in  awe  and  that  m  what.  —  See  §  It),  NOTE. 

B. 

|  8.  Regular  long  sound,  marked  E,  §,  as  in 
Sve,  mete,  &c.  ;  heard  also  in  Cassar,  beard, 
feet,  leisure,  key,  machine,  field,  oesophagus,  &c. 

NOTE. — In  the  formation  of  this  element, 
the  tongue  is  raised  convexly  within  the  dome 
of  the  palate,  pressing  against  its  sides,  and  l«av- 
ing  only  the  smallest  possible  passage  through 
which  a  vowel  sound  can  be  uttered. 

§  9.  Regular  short  sound,  marked  C,  8,  as  in 
ind,  mSt ;  heard  also  in  many,  apfusretis,  said, 
fSati'ier,  hiifer,  friend,  asafaetida,  bury,  guess. 

NOTE.  —  This  is  not  a  short  sound  of  the 
long  e.  It  has  usually  been  considered  as  the 
shut  or  extreme  short  sound  of  the  «  in  file  ; 
but  most  orthoepists  at  the  present  day,  while 
allowing  it  to  be  a  nearly  related  sound,  regard 
it  as  distinct,  it  being  slightly  more  open  than  the 
radical  part  of  a,  and  lacking  the  vanish  :  both 
are  intermediate  between  a  and  I,  the  tongue 
not  being  so  much  depressed  as  for  the  former, 
nor  raised  so  high  toward  the  palate  as  for  the 
latter. —See  §  1. 

OCCASIONAL  SOUNDS  OF  E. 

§  10.  Sound  of  e  like  a  (as  in  care,  fair, 
bear,  &c.),  marked  E,  e,  as  in  ere,  there,  heir, 
e'er,  &c.  This  is  the  same  sound  with  that  of 
a  in  care.  —  See  §  3. 

§  11.  Sound  of  e  like  a,  marked  E,  e,  as  in 
eh,  eight,  prey,  vein,  &c.  —  See  §  1. 

§  12.  Sound  of  e  before  r,  verging  toward 
the  sound  of  u  in  urge,  marked  fi,  C,  as  in  er- 
mine, verge,  prefer  ;  heard  also  in  earnest,  mirth, 
myrtle,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  The  vulgar  universally,  and  many 
cultivated  speakers  both  in  England  and  Amer- 
ica, give  the  e  in  such  words  the  full  sound  of  u 
in  urge,  as,  murcy  for  merry,  turm  for  term,  &c. 
But,  in  the  most  approved  style  of  pronuncia- 
tion, the  organs  are  placed  in  a  position  inter- 
mediate between  that  requisite  for  sounding  ft 
and  that  for  sounding  ?,  thus  making  (as  Smart 
observes)  "a  compromise  between  the  two.''  In 
other  words,  this  element  is  radically  distinct 
from  both  ft  anil  i,  being  less  guttural  than  the 
former  and  less  palatal  than  the  latter,  from 
which  it  was  doubtless  originally  evolved. 

I. 

§  13.  Regular  long  sound,  marked  I,  I,  as  in 
Ice;  heard  also  in  aisle,  height,  eying,  eye,  vie, 


I  guile,  buy,  thy,  rye,  &c. ;  in  pint,  in  child,  mild, 
\  wild ;  and  in  most  monosyllables  ending  with 
nd,  as  bind,  find,  kind,  &c. 

NOTE.  — This  sound,  though  represented  by 
a  single  character,  is  not  a  simple  element,  but 
a  diphthong.  It  is  composed  of  a  and  e  as  ex- 
tremes, with  the  a  accented,  but  made  so  very 
brief  that  the  ear  with  difficulty  recognizes  the 
precise  character  of  the  sound. 

§  14.  Regular  short  sound,  marked  f,  T,  as  in 
tit;  heard  also  in  English,  beaufin,  been,  sieve, 
women,  busy,  guinea,  nymph,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  is  not  a  short  sound  of  long  i. 
Many  have  considered  it  as  the  shut  or  extreme 
short  sound  of  long  e ;  but  it  is  really  a  distinct, 
though  closely  allied,  element.  In  its  forma- 
tion, the  tongue  is  slightly  relaxed  from  the 
position  assumed  for  producing  S;  this  is  the 
only  difference  between  the  two  sounds. 

OCCASIONAL  SOUNDS  OF  I. 
§  15.  Sound  of  t  like  long  e,  marked  I,  i,  as 
in  pique,  machine,  caprice,  &c.  —  See  §  8. 

NOTE.  —  Most  of  the  English  words  in  which 
this  pound  is  represented  by  this  letter  are  from 
the  i'rench. 

§  16.  Sound  of  f  before  r,  verging  toward  u 
in  urge,  marked  I,  T,  as  iu  ~rksome,  i-trgin,  &c., 
identical  with  that  of  e  in  ermine See  §  12. 

O. 

§  17.  Regular  long  sound,  marked  0,  o,  as 
in  Lid ;  heard  also  in  hautboy,  beau,  yeoman, 
sew,  ruam,  hue,  door,  shuuider,  grow,  owe,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  sound  of  o  is  in  most  cases 
diphthongal,  having  a  slight  '"vanish"  in  oo 
annexed  to  the  "  radical "  orinitial  sound,  as  in 
below.  The  radical  part  of  the  sound  is  a  simple 
element,  intermediate  with  respect  to  the  mode 
of  its  formation,  between  a  and  oo,  the  tongue 
being  less  depressed  than  for  a,  and  the  labial 
aperture  greater  than  for  oo.  It  is  essentially 
the  same  element  as  that  described  in  the  next 
section,  but  is  of  a  slightly  less  open  quality. 

§  18.  I*  is  exceedingly  common,  in  some 
parts  of  the  United  States,  to  shorten  the  long 
o  of  certain  words,  as  bolt,  most,  only,  Sec.,  by 
dropping  the  vanishing  element  which  belongs 
to  the  vowel,  and  giving  to  the  radical  portion 
a  somewhat  more  open  quality  ;  but  this  prac- 
tice is  wholly  opposed  to  English  usage.  The 
provincialism  here  pointed  out  obtains,  more  or 
less  widely,  in  respect  to  the  following  words; 
namely,  boa/,  bolster,  bolt,  bone,  both,  broke, 
broken,  choke,  cloak,  close,  a.,  coach,  coat,  coax, 
colt,  colter,  comb,  dolt,  folks,  goad,  hold,  holm,

in  New  .England  sound  the  o  in  a  part  or  all  of 
these  words  without  the  vanish,  while  some 
among  the  vulgar  go  further,  and  give  to  a 
number  of  them  almost  the  sound  of  short  u, 
as  hum  for  home,  &c.  They  should  all,  how- 
ever, have  the  full  sound  of  the  o  as  heard  iu 
accented  syllables,  though  not  in  all  cases  with 
quite  the  same  prolongation  of  the  sound. 

§  19.  Regular  short  sound,  marked  (5,  6,  as 
in  odd,  nut ;  heard  also  in  winder,  knowledge, 
&c.  — See  §  7. 

NOTE.  —  This  is  the  shut  or  extreme  short 
sound  of  broad  a,  and  coincides  with  the  sound 
of  a  in  what.  There  is  a  medium  sound  of  this 
letter  which  is  neither  so  short  as  in  not.  nor  so 
long  as  in  naught.  This  medium  sound  is  usu- 
ally given  to  the  short  o  when  directly  followed 
by  ss,  st,  and  t/i,  as  in  cross,  cost, broth.;  also,  in 
gone,  cough,  trough,  off,  and  some  other  words. 

OCCASIONAL  SOUNDS  OF  0. 

§  20.  Sound  of  o  like  short  it,  marked  6,  6> 
as  in  other,  dove,  &c.  ;  heard  also  in  does,  gun, 
Mod,  double,  &c.  —  See  §  28. 

§  21.  Sound  of  o  like  oo  long,  marked  O,  p, 
as  in  prove,  do,  move,  tomb,  &c.  —  See  §  24. 

§  22.  Sound  of  o  like  oo  short,  marked  O, 
o,  as  in  bosom.,  wotf,  woman,  &c.  —  See  §  25. 

NOTE.  —  This  sound  coincides  with  that  of  u 
in  bull,  which  is  also  used  for  oo  short.  —  See 
§30. 

§  23.  Sound  of  o  like  a  (broad  a),  marked 
6,  o,  as  in  6rder,furm,  stork,  &c.  —  See  §  6. 

OO. 

_§  24.  Regular  long  or  open  sound,  marked 
OO,  ob,  as  in  moon,  food;  heard  also  in  rheum., 
drew,  to,  canoe,  group,  rude,  rue,  recruit,  &c. 

NOTE. —  This  is  the  closest  labial  vowel ;  that 
is  to  say,  in  forming  it  the  lips  are  more  nearly 
closed  than  for  any  other  vowel,  the  sides  being 
brought  into  contact  with  each  other  so  as  to 
leave  only  a  small  central  aperture  for  the 
escape  of  the  voice. 

w§  25.  Regular  short  sound  of  oo,  marked 
OO,  6"b,  as  in  wool,  fdtit  ;  heard  also  hi  wolf, 
should,  bull,  &c. 

TT. 

§  26.  Regular  long  sound,  marked  U,  u,  as 
in  mute,  unit,  &c.  ;  heard  also  in  beaiity,  feod- 
al,  feud,  pew,  ewe,  lieu,  view,  cite,  suit,  yew, 
you,  yule,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  is  a  compound  sound,  formed 
of  the  vowel  oo,  with  a  slight  sound  of  the  con- 
eonant  y  or  of  the  vowel  6  or  t  before  it.  When 
the  u  begins  a  syllable,  or  is  preceded  by  any 
one  of  the  palatal  or  labial  sounds  k,  g,  p,  b,f, 
v,  in,  the  sound  of  y  is  clearly  perceived,  as  in 
the  words  usage,  cube,  gules,  puny,  burin,  futile, 
mule. 

§  27.  When  the  long  «  is  preceded,  in  the 
same  syllable,  by  any  one  of  the  consonants  rf, 


t,  I,  n,  s,  and  th,  it  is  peculiarly  difficult  to  in- 
troduce  the  sound  of  y;  and  hence  negligent 
speakers  omit  it  entirely,  pronouncing  duty, 
dooty  ;  tune,  toon ;  lute,  loot ;  nuisance,  noos- 
ance  j  suit,  soot;  thurible,  thoorible,  &c.  The 
reason  is,  that,  in  forming  these  consonants, 
the  organs  are  in  a  position  to  pass  with  perfect 
ease  to  the  sound  of  oo,  while  it  is  very  difficult 
in  doing  so  to  touch  the  intermediate  y ;  hence 
the  y  in  such  cases  is  very  apt  to  be  dropped. 
The  practice  of  good  society,  however,  is  to  let 
the  y  sink  into  a  very  brief  sound  of  long  e  or  of 
short  i,  both  of  which  have  a  very  close  organic 
relationship  to  consonant  y.  Special  care  must 
be  taken  not  only  to  make  this  sound  as  brief 
as  possible,  but  to  pronounce  it  in  the  same 
syllable  with  the  oo. 

It  ought  to  be  added  that  wherever  the  sound 
of  sh,  z/i,  or  y  consonant  precedes  the  «,  the  y 
is  omitted,  as  in  sure,  sounded  shoor ,-  sugar, 
shoogar  ;  azure,  azh'oor  ;  yule,  yool,  &c. 

§  28.  Regular  short  Found,  marked  fj,  u,  as 
hi  but ;  heard  also  in  does,  blood,  touch,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  is  not  the  short  sound  of  long 
«.  In  its  organic  formation,  it  is  essentially 
the  same  sound  as  u  in  urge,  but  is  shorter  in 
quantity,  and  of  a  rather  more  open  quality. 

OCCASIONAL  SOUNDS  OF  U. 
§  29.  Sound  of  u  preceded  by  r  in  the  same 
syllable,  marked  U,  ij,  as  in  rude,  rumor,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  All  the  English  orthoepists  agree 
that  the  u  in  this  case  drops  the  y  or  i  which  is 
geuerajly  an  element  of  its  compound  sound 
when  preceded,  in  the  same  syllable,  by  any 
other  consonant  than  r,  and  becomes  simply  oo, 
so^that  rue  is  pronounced  rob  ;  rule,  robl ;  ruby, 
rob  by,  &c. 

§  30.  Sound  of  u  like  that  of  short  oo  (6t>), 
marked  y,  u,  as  in  bull,  put,  push,  pull,  &c.  — 
See  §  25. 

§  31.  Sound  of  M  before  r  in  such  words  as 
tirge,  burn,  fiirl,  concur,  &c.,  marked  0,  u  ; 
heard  also  in  worm,  'journey,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  has  been  termed  the  nevtrnl 
vowel,  with  reference  to  its  want  of  any  strong- 
ly-marked, distinctive  character.  The  sound  dif- 
fers from  that  of  short  u  (with  which  it  has 
often  been  identified)  in  length,  and  in  a  some- 
what greater  degree  of  closeness. 

Y. 

§  32.  Regular  long  sound,  marked  If,  y,  as 
in  fly,  style,  sky,  edify,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  is  the  same  sound  as  long  i.  — 
See  §  13. 

§  33.  Regular  short  sound,  marked  Y,  y,  as 
in  cyst,  ni/mp/i,  lyric,  abyss,  coinciding  with  the 
sound  of  short  ('.  —  See  §  14. 

OCCASIONAL  SOUND  OF  Y. 
§  34.    Y  has   only    one    occasional    Bound; 


PRINCIPLES    OF   PRONUNCIATION. 


iz 


namely,  in  such  words  as  myrrh,  myrtle,  in  - 
which  it  has,  like  the  e  and  i  in  similar  circum- ! 
stances  (see  §  12  and  §  16),  very  nearly  the  j 
sound  of  u  in  urge. 

II.     REGULAR  OR   PROPER  DIPHTHONGS. 
OI  or  OY. 

§  35.  The  sound  of  oi  or  oy  (unmarked),  as 
heard  in  oil,  join,  oyster,  &c 

NOTE.  —  The  elements  of  this  diphthong  are 
H  as  in  cord  (the  same  as  broad  a),  and  i  as  in 
fin  (short  i),  with  the  accent  on  the  former.  Oy 
is  always  regular  in  English  words,  and  oi  is 
regular  also,  except  in  the  following  cases ; 
namely,  avoirdupois  (av-iw-du-poiz'),  connois- 
seur (kon-i.s-soor'),  chamois  (shatn'my),  choir 
(kwire),  tortoise  (tor'lis),  tur-quois  (sometimes 
pronounced  tur-icez'). 

ow. 

§  36.  The  sound  of  ow  (unmarked),  as  heard 
in  ow!,  vowel,  flower,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  diphthong  is  compounded  of 
the  elements  a  and  oo,  the  former  of  which  is 
accented,  but  made  extremely  brief.  In  a  con- 
siderable number  of  words,  ow  represents  the 
sound  of  long  o  ;  in  the  single  word  knowledge 
and  in  its  derivatives,  it  has  the  sound  of  short 
o.  These  are  accordingly  distinguished  by  the 
proper  mark,  as  blow,  know,  knowledge,  &c. 

OIL 

§  37.  This  diphthong  has  two  leading 
sounds. 

(1.)  That  of  ow  in  words  derived  from  the 
Anglo-Saxon,  as  in  out,  hounrJ,  &c. 

(2.)  That  of  oo  in  words  derived  from  the  ; 
French,  as  in  soup,  group,  &c. 

§  38.  The  diphthong  nu  has  also,  in  a  num- 
ber of  words,  the  sound  of  long  o,  as  in  sZid ;  • 
in  a  few  cases,  the  sound  of  the  broad  a,  as  in  i 
bought  (bawt) ;  sometimes  that  of  short  u,  as  in 
couple  ;  sometimes  that  of  u  in  vrge ,  as  in  ad- 
jolrn  (adjurn);  and,  in  the  three  words  could, 
would,  should,  that  of  oo  as  in  foot.  These 
peculiarities  are  indicated  in  this  Dictionary  by 
the  appropriate  mark  over  the  significant  or 
sounded  vowel,  or  by  respelling. 

III.     VOWELS     IN    UNACCENTED    SYLLA- 
BLES. 

§  39.  When  an  unaccented  syllable  ends  in 
a  consonant,  its  vowel,  if  single,  has,  in  strict 
theory,  its  regular  short  or  shut  sound,  though 
uttered  somewhat  more  faintly,  or  with  a  less 
proportionate  force,  than  in  an  accented  sylla- 
ble ;  as  in  a5-sign',  con'dlct,  conflict,  &c.  In 
many  words  of  this  class,  however,  the  vowel 
is  apt  to  suffer  a  change  or  corruption  of  its 
distinctive  quality,  passing  over  into  some 
sound  of  easier  utterance.  Thus  the  vowel 
sounds  in  the  unaccented  syllables  ar,  er,  ir,  or, 
1* 


yr  (as  in  altar,  offer,  tapir,  mirror,  zephyr),  are 
coincident  with  that  of  the  second  u  in  sulphur. 
As  a  general  rule,  a  and  o,  in  unaccented  syl- 
lables ending  in  a  consonanl,  verge  toward,  or 
fall  into,  the  sound  of  short  u,  particularly  in 
colloquial  discourse,  as  in  bal'tarf,  bar'radk, 
ver'fia/,  bed'lam,  cap'ston,  jal'ap,  bi'as,  bal'ta*, 
hav'oc,  meth'orf,  pis' to/,  ven'ow,  compel',  flag'- 
on,  bish'op,  pi'lot,  prov'os*.  In  such  words,  it 
would  ordinarily  be  pedantic  or  affected  to  give 
the  vowel  its  regular  short  sound. 

The  vowel  e,  in  unaccented  syllables  ending 
in  a  consonant,  is,  in  some  words,  liable  to  be 
sounded  like  short  i  (as  in  barrel),  and,  hi 
others,  like  short  u  (as  in  silent);  but  these 
changes  are  usually  avoided  by  good  speakers. 

It  may  here  be  remarked,  that  some  of  the 
diphthongs  are  similarly  affected  by  the  ab- 
sence of  accent.  Thus  ai,  which,  in  an  ac- 
cented syllable,  is  usually  sounded  like  long  a, 
(as  hi  corn-plain'),  sinks  into  £  or  I  in  an  un- 
accented syllable,  as  hi  mountain,  pronounced 
moun'ten  or  moun'tln.  So  ei,  ey,  and  ie  become 
changed  in  pronunciation  into  i  (as  hi  sur'fett, 
hon'ey,  car'fled),  and  ou,  is  sounded  as  u  (as  in 
griev'ous). 

§  40.  When  the  unaccented  syllable  does 
not  end  in  a  consonant,  two  cases  arise  ;  name- 

iy,- 

(1.)  The  syllable  may  consist  of,  or  may  end 
in,  a  vowel,  as  in  the  wprds  a-bound',  rfi-recf, 
f-venf,  wjo-lesf,  &c. 

(2.)  The  syllable  may  end  in  a  consonant, 
with  final  e  mute  at  the  close  of  words,  as  in 
ul'ti-merte,  &'nite,  rep'tile,  &c. 

The  former  of  these  will,  for  the  sake  of 
brevity,  be  called  No.  1,  the  latter  No.  2.  These 
will  now  be  considered  under  each  of  the  vow- 
els. 

A. 

§  41.  (No.  1.  See  §  40.)  Here  the  a  has 
properly  a  brief  sound  of  the  Italian  a,  as  hi 
Cu'ba,  a-muse',  .4-mer'i-ca  ;  but,  in  familiar 
speech,  it  is  almost  always  so  slighted  and  ob- 
scured as  to  be  indistinguishable  from  the 
neutral  vowel,  or  w  in  urge,  murmur,  &c.  In 
some  words,  like  a-e'ri-al,  cAa-ofic,  &c.,  the  a 
has  its  regular  long  or  name  sound,  somewhat 
shortened  by  the  omission  of  the  "  vanish." 
This  is  due  to  the  influence  of  the  subsequent 
vowel,  which,  in  fluent  utterance,  refuses  to 
take  the  Italian  a  before  it  without  the  inter- 
vention of  one  or  more  consonants.  Some 
speakers  in  this  country  give  the  same  brief 
sound  of  long  a  to  this  letter  when  it  occurs  in 
an  initial  unaccented  syllable  followed  by  a  con- 
sonant in  an  accented  syllable,  as  in  a-bound', 
fa-tal'i-ty  ;  but  this  practice  is  not  sanctioned 
by  the  best  orthoepists.  In  the  terminations 
-a-ny  and  -a-ry,  the  a  has  usually  the  same 


PRINCIPLES    OF   PRONUNCIATION. 


sound  as  short  e  unaccented,  as  in  mis'ccl  -la-ny, 
mc/ment-a-ry,  &c. 

§  42.  (No.  2.  See  §  40.)  Here  the  a  has 
sometimes  its  long  sound,  particularly  in  verbs 
ending  in  ate  ;  as,  ded'i-cate,  ed'u-cate,  &c.  In 
other  parts  of  speech,  the  sound  of  the  a  is 
more  obscure,  verging  toward  short  e,  as  in  ul'- 
ti-mate,  night'in-gale,  preface,  &c.  In  some 
instances  it  is  apt  to  verge  toward  short  i,  as  in 
vil'lage. 

E. 

§  43.  (No.  1.  See  §  40.)  Here  the  e  has  its 
long  sound,  slightly  obscure  or  abridged,  as  in 
f-vcnt'.  c-mo/tion,  so-ci't-ty,  &c. 

§  44.  (No.  2.  See  §  40.)  Here,  also,  the  e 
has  usually  its  long  sound  a  little  shortened 
and  slighted,  as  in  ob'so-kte. 


There  is  great  diversity  in  the  case  of  this 
letter.  Hence  it  is  difficult  to  lay  down  general 
rules  ;  and,  as  Smart  remarks,  "  The  inquirer 
must  be  sent  to  the  Dictionary  to  learn,  in  each 
particular  case,  the  true  pronunciation." 

§  45.  (So.  1.  See  §  40.)  I,  when  final  in 
a  syllable,  has  more  commonly  its  short  sound, 
as  in  pht-los'o-phy,  d?-rect',  &c.  But  the  j  is 
usually  long  in  the  initial  syllables  i,  bi,  chi, 
cli,  cri,  pri,  tri,  as  in  t-de/a,  bl-ol'o-gy,  crl-te'ri- 
on,  prl-ine'val,  &c. 

§  46.  (No.  2.  See  §  40.)  In  these  termina- 
tions, usage  is  greatly  divided.  On  the  whole,  the 
i  is  more  generally  short,  as  in  ac-com'plice,  in7- 
fi-n?te,  fer'tJle,  mar'i-tmie,  ad-a-man't?ne,  posi- 
tive, &c. ;  but  there  are  some  important  excep- 
tions, as,  cock'a-tnce,  ex'Zle,  gen'tzle,  con'cublne, 
ar'chlve,  &c. ;  also,  all  names  of  minerals  end- 
ing in  lite  or  ite  ;  as  curys'o-llte,  ste'a-tzte,  &c. 

O. 

§  47.  (No.  1.  See  §40.)  Here  the  o  has 
usually  its  long  sound  slightly  abbreviated,  and 
without  its  "  vanish  :)  (see  §  19),  as  in  o-pin'- 
ion,  croc'o-dile,  to-bac'co,  &c.  —  See  §  107. 

§  48.  (No.  2.  See.  §  40.)  The  o  in  these 
terminations  has  usually  its  regular  long  sound, 
as  in  tel'e-scope,  epTde,  &c.  Sometimes  it  has 
the  sound  of  short  o,  as  in  di'a-1'gue:  in  other 
cases,  it  verges  toward  short  i',  as  in  pur'pose. 

u. 

§  49.  (No.  1.  See  §  40. )  Here  the  u  gen- 
.orally  lias  its  long  sound  slightly  abridged,  as 
in  ac'cK-rate,  e-mol'w-ment,  mau-»-mit',  an'nu- 
al,  dep'if-tize,  H-til'i-ty.  But  when  the  u  is  pre- 
ceded by  rf,  (,  or  s.  these  combinations,  rf«,  tit,  and 
xii,  are  by  the  great  majority  of  speakers  changed 
into  joo,  choo,  and  shoo  or  zAoo,  respectively, 
as  in  ed'w-cate  (ej'oo-kafe),  ha-bit'i/-al  (ha-brch'- 
oo-al),  sen's«-ous  (stin'shoo-us),  vis'»-al  (vlzh'- 


oo-al).  (See  §§  63,  74,  89,  90,  92,  and  104.)  Im 
the  notation  of  words  of  this  class  in  the  Dic- 
tionary, the  regular  pronunciation  is  gi'iienilly 
given  instead  of  the  irregular,  in  conformity 
with  the  views  of  Dr.  Webster.  When  the  u  is 
preceded  by  r,  it  simply  drops  the  y  sound,  and 

|  is  pronounced  oo,  as  in  er-u-di'tion  (er-oo-dish'- 
un).  (See  §  29.) 

§  5O.  (No.  2.  See  §  40.)  The  u  in  these 
terminations  should  generally  retain  its  regular 
long  sound  (see  §§  26,  27)  slightly  abridged,  as 
in  grat'i-tude,  in'sti-ttHo,  rid'i-cwlo,  tribute, 
&c.  There  are  a  few  exceptions,  as  uiin'nte 
(min'it),  «.,  and  let't«ce  (let'tis).  If  the  letter 
r  precedes  the  v,  the  initial  element  of  the 

j  vowel  is  dropped,  as  ince'rMse  (se'roos),  per'uke 

j  (per'ook),  &c.  —  Ste  §  29. 

The  terminations  tlure,  ture,  and  sure ,  though 
sometimes  pronounced  with  the  regular  sounds 
of  the  letters,  are  more  commonly  pronounced 
joor,  choor,  and  slwor  or  z/ioor,  respectively,  as 
in  the  words  tcm'per-tt-twre  (tem'per-a-choor), 
ver'd»re  (ver'joor),  cy'no-siire  (si'no-shoor),  ex- 
pc/sifre  (eks-po/zhoor).  (See  §§63,  74.  89,  90, 
104.)  When  these  terminations  are  immedi- 
ately preceded  by  an  accented  syllable,  many 
speakers  change  them  still  further  into  cliitr, 
jur,  and  s/uir,  or  ziuir,  as  in  na/tiire  (ua'chur), 
ver'd^re  (ver'jur),  cen'sKre  (scn'shnr),  ex-po7- 
s;*re  (eks-po'zhur).  The  Dictionary  follows  the 
practice  of  Dr.  Webster  in  giving  to  i/nre  and 

;  lure   the  regular  sounds  of  rf,  /,  and  u  (pro- 

j  nouncing  verdure,  vCrd'yoor,  creature,  kreet'- 
yoor,  &c.) 

Y. 

§  51.  (No.  1.  See  §  40.)  Here  y  has  usu 
ally  its  short  sound,  as  in  hy-poc'ri-sy,  m^-thol'- 
o-g#,  vau'i-ty,  mer'ri  \y,  proph'e-c;/,  &c. ;  but 
verbs  ending  in  fy  have  the  y  long,  as  in 
jus'ti-ty,  inag'ni-i'y,  &c.  ;  also  the  three  verbs, 
oc'cu-py,  mul'ti-ply,  proph'e-sy. 

§  52.  (No.  2.  See  §  40.)  The  y  in  these 
terminations  (which  are  few  in  number)  is 

i  generally  long,  as  in  an'o-dj/ne,  per'i-sti/le,  ue'- 
o-phytc,  pros  e-l^te,  &c. 

IV.     SILENT  VOWELS. 
^  53.   Vowels  which  are   printed  in   Italics 
are  not  to  be  sounded  ;  as  the  r  in  u.vd,  burden, 
the  i  in  cous/n,  &c.     Some  of  these  cases  re- 
quire a  more  particular  consideration. 

E  fmnl. 

§  54.  The  letter  e  is  always  mute  when 
final,  except  in  monosyllables  containing  no 
other  vowel,  in  classical  words,  and  in  some 
words  from  modern  foreign  languages  :  but  in 
a  monosyllable  or  in  an  accented  syllable  of  a 
word,  though  silent,  it  generally  serves  the 
purpose  of  indicating  that  a  preceding  single 
vowel  followed  by  a  single  consonant,  a  conso- 


PRINCIPLES    OF    PRONUNCIATION. 


nant  digraph,  or  the  combined  letters  st  or  ng, 
has  its  regular  long  sound,  as  in  plane,  hope, 
cube,  inscribe,  paste,  change.  When  a  silent  e 
follows  c  or  g  at  the  end  of  a  word,  it  serves 
also  to  show  that  the  consonant  is  to  have  its 
soft,  and  not  its  h.ird,  sound,  as  in.  ace,  nice, 
age,  huge,  oblige.  In  a  number  of  monosylla- 
bles (as  bade,  come,  give,  w~re,  done,  &c.)  and 
in  the  accented  syllables  of  a  few  words  de 
rived  from  them  (as  forbade',  become',  forgive'), 
the  e  does  not  have  its  usual  effect  of  lengthen- 
ing the  sound  of  the  preceding  vowel.  In  un- 
accented syllables,  it  sometimes  keeps  the  vowel 
i:i  its  long  sound,  as  in  gen'tlle,  su'plne,  finite, 
ar' 'chive  ;  but  in  a  great  many  instances  it  ex- 
ercises no  such  influence,  as  in  jus'ttce,  hot'tile, 
mar  i-t~ime,  doc'trlne,  an'tse,  gran'tte,  plain' lice. 

EN  with  E  silent. 

§  55.  Most  words  ending  in  en.  drop  the  e  in 
pronunciation,  as,  often  (oi'nj,  heaven  (heav'n), 
even  (ev'n),  &c.  The  following  are  nearly  all 
the  words  in  which  the  e  should  be  sounded  : 
aspere,  chicken,  hyphen,  kitchen,  jerken,  latten, 
lichen,  marten,  mynchew,  paten,  patten,  platen, 
rowen,  wicke/z ,  and  y  ewe« .  The  e  is  also  sounded 
•when  "preceded  by  the  liquids  I,  m,  n,  r,  as  in 
woo,'e«,  omen,  linen,  siren,  &c.,  though  fallen, 
stole/;,  and  swollen  omit  the  e  in  pronunciation. 
'With  regard  to  Eden,  bounr'en,  heathen,  mitten, 
sudden,  and  sloven,  there  is  a  diversity  of  usage 
among  good  speakers,  some  suppressing,  and 
some  sounding,  the  e. 

ON  with  O  silent. 

§  56.  Many  words^ending  in  on  preceded  by 
c,  c.t,  s,  and  t,  omit  the  o  in  pronunciation,  as 
in  reckon  (reck'u),  bacon  (bak'n),  treason  (treas'n), 
mutton  (mutt'n),  &c.  , 

ED  with  E  silent. 

§  57.  The  termination  erl  is  usually  short- 
ened in  pronunciation  by  dropping  the  sound 
of  the  e  (as  in  loved  (lov'd),  aimed  (amrd),  dif- 
fused (diffus'd),  &c.),  unless  this  letter  is  pre- 
ceded by  d  or  t  (as  in  amended,  contented,  &c.), 
when  its  omission  is  organically  impossible. 
But  in  adverbs  formed  by  adding  ly,  and  in 
nouns  formed  by  adding  nrss  to  words  ending 
in  ed,  the  e  of  this  termination  is  uniformly 
sounded,  as  in  assuredly,  confusedly,  reneu-edli/. 
amazedniss,  compnsedness,  &c.  There  are  also 
some  participial  adjectives,  and  some  adjectives 
not  derived  from  verbs,  in  which  the  e  is  com- 
monly sounded  ;  as,  aged,  beloved,  blessed,  crab- 
bed, cragged,  cranked,  crutched,  cursed,  cusped, 
deuced,  dogged,  /tanked,  jagged,  learned,  legged, 
naked,  peaked,  picked  (sharp),  ragged,  rugged, 
stubbed,  wicked,  winged,  wretched.  The  e  is 
also  pronounced  in  the  derivatives  formed  from 
such  adjectives,  as,  learnedly,  blessedness  ;  but 


is  generally  omitted  in  the  compounds,  as,  full- 
aged  (<ijd). 

EL  with  E  silent. 

§  58.  As  a  general  rule,  the  e  is  sounded  in 
these  terminations,  as  in  grave/,  level,  vesse/, 
chape/,  &c.  The  following  are  nearly  or  quite 
all  the  words  of  this  kind  in  which  the  e  is 
properly  omitted  ;  namely,  barbel,  betel,  chattel, 
drazel,  drivel,  easel,  grovel,  hazel,  mangel-wurzel, 
mantel,  mispickel,  mussel,  navel,  ousel,  ravel, 
rive),  scovfl,  shekel,  shovel,  shrivel,  snivel, 
swingd,  swivel,  teasel,  toggel,  towsel,  weasel. 


CONSONANTS. 
B. 

§  59.  The  sound  represented  by  this  letter 
(which  is  unmarked)  is  heard  in  the  words  barn, 
rob,  labor,  table,  &c. 

XOTE. — This  sound  is  formed  by  the  com- 
pression of  vocalized  breath  or  voice,  within  the 
mouth,  while  the  lips  are  shut  and  the  back 
nostrils  are  closed  by  covering  them  with  the 
soft  palate.  When  preceded  by  m,  or  followed 
by  t,  in  the  same  syllable,  b  is  generally  silent, 
as  in  bomb,  climb,  tomb,  debt,  doubt,  subt'le,  &c. 
Acc.umb,  dithyramb,  iamb,  succumb,  rhomb, 
rhumb,  are  said  to  be  exceptions. 

C. 

§  60.  C  marked  thus,  £,  c  (soft  c),  has  the 
sound  of  s,  as  in  gede,  tra^e,  of  id,  fypress,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  It  takes  this  sound  whenever  it  oc- 
'curs  before  e  (even  if  silent),  i,  or  y.  —  See  §  87. 

When  the  letters  ce  or  ci  are  immediately  pre- 
ceded by  an  accented  syllable,  and  are  followed 
by  a  vowel  in  the  next  syllable,  the  c  combines 
in  pronunciation  with  the  e  or  i  to  form  the 
sound  sit,  as  in  ocean,  social,  saponaceous,  &c. 
In  some  words,  c  alone  has  this  sound,  or, 
rather,  the  e  or  i  is  used  twice,  first  combining 
with  the  c  to  represent  the  sound  of  sh,  and  then, 
in  the  same  syllable,  taking  on  its  customary 
vowel  sound,  as  in  so-ci-al'i-ty.  —  See  £11,  §  92. 

§  61.  C  marked  thus,  €,  «  (hard  c),  has  the 
sound  of  k  when  it  comes  before  a,  o,  u,  I.  or  r, 
before  k,  s,  or  t,  and  when  it  ends  a  word  or  a 
syllable,  as  in  call,  cot,  cut,  clot,  crown,  black, 
act,  zinc,  traffic,  pict'ure,  Jlac'cid,  eth'ics.  —  See 
K,  §  75. 

§  62.  C  has  the  sound  of  z  in  the  words 
sacrifice,  sice,  suffice,  and  discern,  and  in  their 
derivatives.  It  is  silent  in  the  words  czar, 
•victuals,  indict,  and  their  derivatives :  also  in 
the  termination  scle,  as  in  muscle,  corpuscle,  &c. 

CH. 

§  63.  Ch  unmarked  (English  c/i)  has  very 
nearly  the  sound  of  tsh,  as  in  child,  much, 
richer,  speechless,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  When  the  letter  t  comes  before  ;;

PRINCIPLES    OF    PRONUNCIATION. 


(=  yoo)  in  an  unaccented  syllable,  and  is  at  the 
same  time  preceded  by  an  accented  syllable  (as 
in  nature),  or  when  it  is  preceded  by  s  or  x  in  an 
accented  syllable,  and  is  immediately  followed 
by  lo  (=  ya)  or  io  (  =  yo)  in  an  unaccented  syl- 
lable (as  in  Christian,  question,  adtnixtion), 
both  this  letter  and  the  y  virtually  following  it 
are,  by  some  speakers,  preserved  in  their  usual 
and  appropriate  sounds  ;  thus,na/«re(nat'yoor), 
Christian  (krlst'yan),  question  (kwest'yun),  ad- 
mixtion  (ad-mikst'yun),  &c.  But  by  others 
they  are  suffered  to  sink  into  the  easier  and 
closely  allied  sound  of  cli  in  church;  thus,  na- 
ture (na-choor),  Christian  (krls'ehan),  question 
(kwes'chun),  admixtion  (ad-miks'chun),  &c. 

§  04.  Ck  marked  thus,  £h,  ch  (French  eh), 
has  the  sound  of  sh,  as  in  fhaise,  marchioness , 
marhine,  &c.  —  See  SII,  §  92.  Most  words  of 
this  kind  are  derived  from  the  French. 

§  65.  Ch,  marked  thus,  €h,  -eh  (Latin  efi,) 
has  the  sound  of  k,  as  in  chorus,  epoch,  distich, 
&c.  This  is  the  usual  sound  in  words  derived 
from  the  ancient  languages  ;  but  cherub  and 
charity,  with  their  derivatives,  are  exceptions 
Ci'i  is  always  hard  (like  /.-)  before  I  and  r,  as  in 
c'tlorine,  chrism. 

NOTE. — The  prefix  arch,  denoting  chief,  is 
pronounced  ark\aarc'iangel  and  its  derivatives, 
and  in  words  from  foreign  languages  in  which 
the  other  component  part  is  not  separately  cur- 
rent in  English,  as  architecture,  a/r/iipelago, 
arc/iitrave,  &c.  In  all  other  cases,  it  is  pro- 
nounced artc/i,  as  in  arcA-bishop,  orcA-enemy, 
arrA-fiend,  &c. 

§  68.  Ch  is  silent  in  the  word  dra<:Am  (though 
not  in  drachma,  drak'ma),  and  also  in  sc/iism, 
yacAt  (jot),  and  their  derivatives. 

D. 

J67.  The  sound  of  d  (unmarked),  as  in  dale , 
,  rider,  tradesman,  &c. 

NOTE.  — The  sound  of  this  letter  is  formed 
by  pressing  the  end  of  the  tongue  against  the 
upper  gums,  and  then  forcing  up  vocalized 
breath,  or  voice,  into  the  mouth,  the  soft  palate 
being  raised  to  prevent  its  escape  through  the 
.  nose. 

D  is  silent  only  in  the  words  Wednesday  and 
handkerchief. 

F. 

§  68.  The  sound  of/  (unmarked),  as  in 
fame,  leaf,  definite,  snftly,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  letter,  which  is  never  silent,  is 
uttered  by  applying  the  lower  lip  to  the  upper 
front  teeth,  and  emitting  the  breath.  .Fhas 
only  this  one  sound,  except  in  the  single  word 
of,  in  which  it  has  the  power  of  v. 

G. 

§  69.  G  marked  thus,  <";,  g  (g  hard),  has 
tho  sound  of  that  letter  in  the  word  go  ;  as  in 
gft,  gave,  give,  begun,  keg,  sluggish,  smuggle, 
&c. 

NOTE. — This  sound  i.'  produced  by  acom- 


I  pression  of  intonated  breath,  or  voice,  confined 
within  the  mouth  by  a  contact  of  the  root  of 
the  tongue  with  the  posterior  part  of  the  palate, 
which  is  at  the  same  time  raised  sufficiently  to 
cover  the  back  nostrils,  or  openings  from  the 
pharynx  into  the  nose. 

G  is  hard  before  a  (except  in  the  single  word 
gaol  and  its  derivatives),  o,  u,  h,  t,  and  r,  as  in 
gate,  gore,  gum,  ghastly,  glad,  grain.  It  is 
sometimes,  though  not  usually,  hard  before  e,  i, 
and  y,  as  in  get,  give,  gibbous,  muggy.  It  is 
also,  and  always,  hard  at  the  end  of  words,  and 
in  the  derivatives  of  such  words,  even  when  the 
g  is  doubled  and  followed  by  e,  i,  or  y,  as  in 
crag,  drug,  fog,  cragged,  druggist,  foggy. 

When  a,  I,  or  i,  is  preceded  in  the  same  sylla- 
ble by  the  sound  of  g,  or  of  k,  very  many  speak- 
ers, particularly  in  England,  interpose  a  slight 
sound  of  5,  as  in  card,  kind,  garden,  guard, 
girl,guilf,  guise,  sky.  The  practice  of  a  very 
large  portion,  if  not  a  majority,  of  the  best 
I  speakers  in  the  United  States,  and  also  of  many 
•  educated  persons  in  England,  is  to  join  the 
sound  of  the  g(>r  k  to  that  of  the  a  or  I,  with- 
out suffering  any  other  sound  to  slip  in  between 
them. 

§  70.  G  marked  thus,  (•,  £  (g  soft),  has  the 
compound  sound  of  j,  as  in  gem,  rage,  engine, 
cagtd,  &c.  —  See  §  74. 

NOTE.  —  The  letter  g  generally  takes  this 
sound  when  it  comes  before  e,  i,  or  y  ;  but  there 
are  some  exceptions.  (See  the  preceding  sec- 
tion.) 

§  71.  In  a  few  ^ords  from  the  French,  g  re- 
tains the  Found  of  zh,  which  it  has  before  c  and 
i  in  that  language,  as  in  rouge  (roozh),  mirage 
(ml-nizh'),  &c. 

G  is  silent  before  m  and  n  final,  and  also 
when  initial  before  n,  as  yi  phlegm,  sign,  gnat. 

For  the  o.Tice  which  g  performs  in  such 
words  as  longer,  stronger,  &c.,  see  §  79. 

GH. 

§  72.  This  digraph  (which  is  unmarked)  is 
sounded,  at  the  beginning  of  a  word,  like  g 
hard,  as  in  ghastly,  ghost,  g/ierkin,  &c.  It  is 
silent  after  the  vowel  i,  as  in  high,  sigh,  wri.'h ; 
and  it  is  generally  silent  before  /,  as  in  bough', 
fraught,  taught,  &c.  The  words  draught  and 
laughter,  where  it  has  the  sound  of/,  are  ex- 
ceptions. In  other  cases,  g  h  is  generally  pro- 
nounced like  /,  as  in  chough,  cough,  rough, 
tough,  trough,  enough,  &c. ;  but  it  sometimes 
has  the  sound  of  k,  as  in  hough,  lough,  shough. 
In  the  word  hiccough,  it  is  usually  pronounced 
like  p. 

H. 

§  73.  This  letter  (which  is  unmarked)  is  a 
mere  aspiration  or  breathing,  and  represents  no 
fixed  configuration  of  the  vocal  organs. 

NOTE. — It  is  an  emission  of  unvocalized 
breath  through  whatever  position  of  the  mouth- 
organs  is  required  by  the  succeeding  element, 
the  organs  being  always  placed  to  form  the  next

following  letter  before  the  h  is  pronounced,  j 
Thus,  iu  he  the  tongue  is  put  in  a  position  to 
sound  the  e  before  the  k  is  uttered  ;  and  simi- 
larly in  hall,  hard,  koine,  &c. 

In  the  following  words,  heir,  heiress,  herb, 
herbage,  honest,  honor,  honorable,  hour,  with 
their  derivatives,  and  also  in  hostler  (also  spelt 
ostler),  h  is  silent.  It  is  also  marked  as  silent 
by  most  orthoiipists  in  hospital,  humor,  and 
humble,  with  their  derivatives.  There  is,  how- 
ever, an  increasing  tendency  to  sound  the  h 
in  these  words.  If  is  silent  after  g  initial,  as 
in  ghost,  gherkin,  &c.  ;  after  r,  as  in  rhyme, 
myrrh,  &c.  ;  and  also  when  preceded  by  a  vowel 
in  the  same  syllable,  as  in  ah,  eh,  oh,  buhl,  Je- 
hovah, &c.  In  many  parts  of  England,  the 
sound  of  this  letter  is  almost  always  omitted 
where  it  ought  to  be  uttered,  and  uttered  where 
ft  ouzht  to  be  omitted  ;  as  'oiwe  for  house,  hop- 
ple for  apple,  &c.  This  very  gross  and  vulgar 
error  is  rarely,  if  ever,  heard  among  natives  of 
the  United  States. 


§  74.  This  letter  (which  is  unmarked)  has 
very  nearly  the  sound  of  clz/i,  being  precisely 
the  same  as  that  of  g  soft,  as  in  jar,  jeer,  joke, 
&c.  —  See  §  70. 

NOTE.  —  .7  is  never  silent.  In  the  word  hal- 
lelujah, it  has  the  sound  of  consonant  y. 

In  words  in  which  d  precedes  a  letter  having 
regularly  the  sound  of  y,  and  occurring  in  an 
unaccented  syllable,  as  in  modulate  (mod'u- 
late),  soldier  (sold'j^r).  the  sound  of  j  is  very 
often  substituted  for  the  combined  sounds  of  the 
d  and  y  (thus,  moj'oo-late,  sol'jer);  —  jost  as 
the  sound  of  ch  is  substituted  for  the  combined 
sounds  of  t  and  yin  nature,  question,  righteous, 
&c.  (See  §63,  NOTE.) 

K. 

§  75.  This  letter  (which  is  unmarked)  has 
one  uniform  sound,  as  heard  in  keep,  king, 
kitchen,  &c..  and  is  precisely  equivalent  to  c 
hard.  —  See  §  61. 

NOTE.  —  The  sound  represented  by  this  let- 
ter differs  from  that  of  g  in  go  (hard  g)  only  in 
being  a  whispered  and  not  a  vocal  utterance  ; 
the  organs  are  placed  in  the  same  position  for 
forming  both  sounds.  Before  n,  in  the  same 
syllable,  k  is  silent,  as  in  knack,  knell,  knit, 
•  know,  &c.  It  is  also  silent  after  c,  as  in  back, 
barrack,  &c.  In  regard  to  the  pronunciation 
sometimes  giveu  to  such  words  as  kind,  sky, 
&c.,  see  §  6i»,  NOTE. 

L. 

t76.  The  sound  of  I  (unmarked),  as  heard 
ft,  bell,  clialice,  melting,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  letter  has  only  one  sound, 
Which  consists  of  an  efflux  of  vocalized  breath, 
or  voice,  over  the  sides  of  the  tongue,  while  its 


before  a  final  consonant,  as  in  almond,  malmsey, 
palmer,  alms,  calm,  walk,  half,  could,  would, 
should,  &c. 


M. 

|  77.  The  sound  of  m  (unmarked),  as  heard 
hi  make,  aim,  clamor,  armed,  &c. 

NOTE.  — This  letter  has  one  uniform  sound, 
produced  by  closing  the  lips,  and  letting  the 
voice  issue  through  the  nose.  It  is  silent  when  it 
precedes  n  in  the  same  syllable,  as  iu  mnemo- 
nics. 

N. 

§  78.  The  sound  of  n  (unmarked),  as  heard 
in  nail,  ten,  panel,  entry,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  In  the  production  of  this  sound, 
the  tip  of  the  tongue  is  pressed  against  the  up- 
per gums,  as  for  d ;  but  the  voice,  instead  of 
being  confined  within  the  mouth,  is  suffered  to 
escape  uninterruptedly  through  the  nose,  the 
nasal  passages  being  uncovered  for  that  pur- 
pose. 

When  final  after  I  or  m,  n  is  uniformly  silent, 
as  in  kiln,  condemn,  solemn,  hymn,  limn,  &c. ; 
but  it  is  generally  sounded  in  the  derivatives 
formed  from  such  words  by  adding  to  them  a 
termination  beginning  with  a  vowel,  as  in  con- 
demnatory, solemnize,  hyinrtic,  limner,  &c.  In 
the  present  participles  of  verbs  ending  in  mn,  as 
contemn,  hymn,  &c.,  the  n,  though  often  un- 
pronounceii,'is  more  properly  sounded,  as,  con- 
temning, hymning,  &c. 

§  79 .  The  sound  of  n  as  heard  in  linger,  link, 
uncle,  &c.  (marked  N,  jj). 

NOTE. — This  is  essentially  the  game  sound 
as  that  represented  by  ng ;  but  its  length  varies 
greatly  according  as  it  is  followed  by  a  whispered 
or  a  vocal  consonant.  When  it  is  followed  iu 
the  game  syllable  by  the  sound  of  k,  as  in  link, 
it  is  cut  so  short  by  the  instantaneous  and  per- 
fect closure  of  the  organs  which  form  this  pure 
mute  as  to  add  almost  nothing  to  the  length  of 
the  syllable.  .But  when  this  sound  of  n  is  fol- 
lowed by  that  of  g-  in  a  separate  syllable,  as 
in  the  primitive  words  anger,  finger,  conger, 
hunger,  it  is  long  and  sonorous,  and  increases 
the  duration  of  the  syllabic  utterance  very  per- 
ceptibly. As  a  general  rule,  the  change  of  n  into 
n  takes  place  only  beforehand  k  (or  before  the 
equivalents  of  k,  namely,  c,  q,  and  x=ks).  It 
takes  place  before  k  or  its  equivalents  when  any 
one  of  these  letters  follows  n  in  the  same  sylla- 
ble, as  in  lint,  cinque,  minx,  bethink',  adum/ue', 
phar'ynz;  and  before  g  or  k,  or  an  equivalent 
of  k,  when  any  one  of  these  letters  begins  au 
unaccented  syllable  and  the  n  ends  a  preceding 
accented  one,  as  in  con'rord,  con'gress,  un'cle,

ceptions ;  also  words  beginning  with  the  pre- 
fixes in,  non,  quimrue,  and  un ;  as,  in'come,  non'- 
con-form'ity,  qu/n'^uevalve,  un'com-pound'ed, 
&c.  It  is  to  be  observed  that,  if  the  n  ends  an 
unaccented  syllable,  and  the  g  or  k  begins  an 
accented  one,  the  n  invariably  retains  its  reg- 
ular sound  ;  as  in  con-cord'ant,  con-gres'sional. 

It  is  also  to  be  observed  that  there  is  a  small 
class  of  words  in  which  the  n  has  its  ordinary 
sound,  as  in  nail,  and  the  g  its  soft  sound,  as 
in  gem.  Of  this  class,  the  words,  danger,  stran- 
ger, ginger,  and  plunger  are  examples.

XOTE.  — It  has  arisen,  in  all  English  words, 
from  an  attempt  to  pronounce  the  sound  of  z

,  §  102)  in  immediate  succession.     Thus,  fusion

and  in  tho  English  and  American  pronunciation 
of  such  words  as  poonr,  boring,  &c.,  consists  in 
the  interposition  between  the  r  and  the  preced- 
ing vowel  of  an  obscure  vowel  Bound  like  that 
of  u  in  urge. 

s. 

§  87.  S  unmarked  has  its  regular  sharp  or 
hissing  sound,  as  in  same,  yes,  resting,  &c. 

NOTE.  — This  sound  is  an  utterance  of  un- 
vocal  breath  forced  between  the  tip  of  the 
tongue  and  the  upper  gum,  the  tongue  being 
placed  in  the  proper  position  for  sounding  land 
d.  S  always  has  this  sound  at  the  beginning, 
and  frequently  in  the  middle  and  at  the  end,  of 
words.  —  See  §  105. 

§  88.  S,  when  marked  thus,  S,  s,  has  the 
buzzing  sound  of  z  in  zeal,  as  in  ha.%,  amus_e, 
rosy,  &c.  —  See  §  105. 

NOTE.  — There  are  a  few  verbs  ending  in  se, 
which  are  also  used  as  nouns  or  adjectives.  To 
distinguish  between  them,  the  a  is  vocalized  in 
the  verb,  and  whispered  in  the  noun  or  adjective  ; 
as  close,  a.,  and  close,  v. :  house,  n.,  and  houses, 
v. ;  wse,n.,andwse,v. ;  diffuse,  a,.,  and  diffuse,?. 

§  89.  When  the  letter  s,  having  regularly 
its  sharp  or  hissing  sound,  fallows  a  liquid  or 
another  s,  and  precedes  a  letter  having  the 
sound  of  consonant  y,  as  i  ia  reversion,  mansion, 
passion,  and,  in  a  few  cases,  when  it  precedes  « 
(=  yoo),  as  in  s:ire,  sugar,  censure,  sensual,  the 
sounds  represented  by  these  letters  are  ex- 
changed for  that  of  the  simple  but  very  similar 
element  represented  by  s'l.  Thus  the  examples 
just  given  are  actually  pronounced  re-cer'shtin, 
man'shun,  pash'un,  skoor,  shoog'ar,  cen'shoor, 
srn'shoo-a',  though  the  theoretical  pronuncia- 
tion would  be  re-vers'ytin,  mans'yun,  pdss'yun, 
s-yoor,  s-yoog'ar,  cens'yoor,  sens'yoo-al. 

In  a  few  words,  5  alone  takes  the  sound  of 
a/i,  as  in  nausea,  Asiatic;  or  rather  the  e  or  i, 
in  such  cases,  does  double  duty,  uniting  with 
the  5  to  signify  the  sound  of  sh,  and  at  the  same 
time  retaining  its  usual  vowel  character. 

§  90.  When  s  is  preceded  by  a  vowel  in  an 
accented  syllable,  and  is  followed  by  a  vowel 
hiving  regularly  or  theoretically  the  sound  of 
consonant  y,  these  two  letters  are  commonly 
pronounced  like  z/t,  as  in  a  Hiesion,  revision,  ex- 
p'osinn,  confusion,  pleasure,  visual,  usury,  &c. 
(See  §  104.)  So  also  ia  s-ission,  abscission,  re- 
scission, though  the  s  is  not  preceded  by  a 
Towel  in  the  accented  syllable. 

§  01.  S  is  silent  in  the  words  aisle,  isle, 
island,  demesne,  puisne,  viscount,  and  generally 
at  the  end  of  French  words  adopted  into  Eng- 
lish, as  chamois,  corps,  vis-a-vis,  &c. 

Sh. 

§  92.  This  digraph  (which  is  unmarked)  rep- 
resents the  simple  sound  heard  in  s'ulf,  fle.sk, 
usher,  &c. 


NOTE.  —  This  element  is  formed  by  a  partial 
contact  of  the  upper  surface  of  the  tongue,  near 
the  tip,  with  that  side  of  the  arch  or  dome  of 
the  palate  which  is  just  above  the  gums  of  the 
front  teeth,  and  by  an  effusion  of  unvocal 
breath  through  the  narrow  aperture  left  for  its 
escape.  Tliis  sound  has  been  evolved  from  the 
combination  of  those  of  s  and  consonant  y  which , 
in  rapid  utterance,  do  not  easily  nuiiutain  their 
distinct  character.  Thus,  if  we  pronounce  the 
word  special  in  three  syllables,  spef'i-al,  and 
then  try  to  reduce  it  to  two,  we  shall  find  that  it 
is  difficult  to  articulate  thec  (=a) and  the  i '  (=y) 
by  one  continuous  effort  of  tho  organs,  and 
that  the  intermediate  sk  is  naturally  substituted 
as  an  easier  and  a  closely  allied  sound.  So  with 
version,  mission,  sure,  &c. 

S.'i  is  never  silent.  It  is  expressed  :  1.  Bye, 
as  in  o-re-an'ic,  e-ma-n-a'tion  ;  2.  Ey  a,  ns  in 
nau'ae-ate,  A-si-at'ic ;  3.  By  (,as  in  nc-go-d-a'-

sci,  as  in  con'sr/euce.  —  See  §§  CO,  89, 94,  101. 

T. 

§  93.  The  sound  of  t  (unmarked)  as  heard 
in  'tone,  note,  noted,  assets,  &c. 

NOTE.  — This  sound  differs  from  that  of  d 
(see  §  67)  only  in  being  a  whispered  and  not  a 
vocal  utterance. 

T  is  silent  in  the  terminations  ten  and  tie  after 
s,  as  in  fasten,  listen,  often,  castle,  gritlli , 
throstle,  &c.  It  is  also  silent  in  the  words 
chestnut,  Christmas,  hostler,  or  ostler,  mistletoe, 
and  mortgage. 

§  94.  When  t  precedes  any  one  of  the  diph- 
thongs ia,  ie,  and  io,  and  at  the  same  time  fol- 
lows an  accented  syllable  not  ending  in  a  or  x, 
it  assumes,  in  some  words,  the  sound  of  sh,  as 
in  negotiation ;  but,  in  most  cases,  the  com- 
pound sound  resulting  from  the  coalescence  of 
t  and  t  is  exchanged  for  that  of  sh,  as  in  patient, 
s'atinn,  partial,  &c.  When  a  or  x  precedes  the 
t,  this  letter  and  the  i  following  it  either  pre- 
serve their  own  sounds  pure,  or  exchange  them 
for  the  sound  of  ch  in  chin,  as  in  question 
(kwest'yun  or  kwes'chun),  mixtion  (mikst/yun 
or  miks-'chun),  &c.  — See  §  03,  NOTE,  and  §  92. 

Th. 

§  95.  Th  unmarked  has  its  sharp  or  whis- 
pered sound,  as  in  thing,  breath,  author,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  is  the  sound  made  in  lisping. 
It  is  produced  by  putting  the  point  of  the  tongue 
between  the  teeth,  or  by  placing  it  against  the 
back  of  the  upper  front  teeth,  and  forcing  out 
unintonated  breath. 

Th  has  this  sound  generally  at  the  beginning 


xiv 


PRINCIPLES    OF    PRONUNCIATION. 


§  80.  The  sound  of  ng  (unmarked),  as  in 
sing,  finger,  singly,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  This  is  a  simple  elementary  sound, 
and  is  not  (as  might  be  supposed)  a  compound 
sound  made  up  of  the  found  of  n  in  conjunction 
with  that  of  g.     In  forming  ng,  the  tongue  is  j 
placed  in  the  same  position  as  for  forming  g  ; 
the  nostrils,  however,  are  not  completely  closed,  | 
but  yet  so  much  so  as  to  produce  a  marked  res-  | 
onance  (somewhat  similar  to  the  sound  of  n), 
which  may  be  continued  to  any  length,  as  in 
sing,  bring,  &c.  — See  §  79. 

P. 

§  81.  The  pound  of  p  (unmarked),  as  heard 
in  pay,  ope,  paper,  aptly,  &c. 

NOTE. — The  position  of  the  organs  neces- 
sary for  forming  this  sound  is  the  same  as  for 
h,  but  tile  sound  iOelf  differs  from  that  of  b  in 
being  an  utterance  of  breath  instead  of  voice. 

.  P  has  but  one  sound  ;  it  is  silent  when  initial 
before  n,  s,  and  t,  as  in  pneumatics,  psalm, 
pskaw,  ptarmigan.  It  is  al.*o  silent  or  very  in- 
distinct when  it  occurs  between  m  and  t  in  the 
same  syllable,  as  in  tempt,  exempt,  &c.  ;  but 
when  preceded  by  in  in  the  game  syllable,  and 
followed  by  t  or  by  k  in  the  next  syllable,  it  is 
more  properly  sounded ;  as  in  trmp-ta'tion,  ex- 
emption, redemp'titm,  con -sump' five,  sump'- 
tuous,  bump'kin,  pump'kin,  &c.,  though,  in 
•colloquial  utterance,  it  is  very  often  suppressed 
in  words  of  this  class.  It  is  also  mute  in  the  fol- 
lowing words,  and  in  their  derivatives  ;  namely, 
raspberry,  receipt,  sempstress,  accompt,  and  corps. 

PH. 

§  82.  This  digraph  (which  is  unmarked)  oc- 
curs chiefly  in  words  of  Greek  derivation,  and 
has  usually  the  sound  off,  as  in  phantom,  sylph, 
philosophy,  &c.  In  Step/it  n  it  has  the  sound 
of  v  ,•  and,  according  to  most  orthoepists,  it 
has  the  same  sound  in  nrphew  (nev'ew). 

Before  th  initial,  ji.'i  is  silent,  as  in  pAthisis ; 
It  is  also  silent  in  apoyHlie^m.  In  dip/it/tong, 
triphthong,  opkthalmy,  nupk'ha,  and  other  allied 
words,  together  with  their  derivatives,  tiiep/iij 
often  sounded  as  p,  or  the  h  may  be  regarded  as 
silent. 

Q 

§  S3.  Q  is  followed  in  all  cases  by  ?'.  and 
these  t.vo  letters,  taken  together,  have  usually 
the  pound  of  fcir,  as  in  queen  (kween),  cnn'{iifs'. 
(konk'wc.st),  &c.  In  a  few  words  derived  from 
the  French,  qit  is  sounded  like  k,  as  in  rn';wttr. 
quat/riltt,  &c.  It  has  the  same  sound  in  the 
common  termination  que,  as  in  antique,  oblique, 
burlesque,  &c. 

R. 

§  84.  This  letter  (which  is  unmarked)  may 
be  viewed  under  three  aspects :  — 

(1.)  K  as  hi  rip,  trip,  carol,  &c.  (sometimes 
called  rough.,  trilled,  dental,  or  initia'  r). 

In  forming  this  pound,  the  tongue  assumes 
nearly  the  same  position  as  for  d  :  but  the  voice, 


instead  of  being  confined  within  the  mouth,  is 
suffered  to  flow  f.jely  over  the  tip  of  the  tongue, 
producing  a  very  slightly  trilled  and  peculiarly 
liquid  sound  which  is  heard  in  the  two  follow- 
ing cases  :  1.  When  r  is  not  preceded  by  a 
vowel,  as  in  ream,  dream,  prompt,  spring ;  2. 
U'hen  it  stands  between  two  vowels  of  which 
the  first  is  short,  as  in  baron,  merit,  spirit,  florid. 
Often  the  r  is  doubled  in  the  written  word,  as  in 
barren,  merry,  torrid ;  but,  in  these  cases,  only 
one  r  is  heard  in  the  pronunciation ,  providing 
the  preceding  vowel  is  short.  —  Sec  §  109. 

(2.)  li  as  in  Jar,  form,  terse,  surge,  &c.  (some- 
times called  smooth.,  palatal,  guttural,  obscure,  or 
final  r). 

By  most  orthoepista  at  the  present  day,  the 
letter  r,  when  it  occurs  before  any  consonant,  or 
when  final,  is  regarded  as  a  distinct  element 
from  the  last,  and  as  formed  by  a  slight  vibra- 
tion of  the  back  part,  or  root,  of  the  tongue 
against  the  extremity  of  the  soft  palate.  Many 
writers,  however,  do  not  admit  any  such  dis- 
tinction in  the  sound  of  r.  maintaining  that 
the  value  of  the  letter  (apart  from  the  obscure 
vowel  element  described  in  No.  3)  is  uniform  in 
all  situations. 

(3.)  R,  connected  with  a  guttural  vowe> 
sound,  as  heard  in  such  words  as /arc,  mere,  ire 
ore,  cure,  poor,  pure,  &c.  Here  the  character  r 

<  represents    two    sounds ;    namely,   an  obscur? 

I  vowel  sound  resembling  that  of  u  in  trrg*,  and 

I  a  smooth  or  palatal  r,  so  that  the  above  words 

'  are  pronounced  f'.ur  (see  §  4).  nn"ur,  iur,  &c. 
§  85.    In    tne    pronunciation    of   accurate 

1  speakers,  r  is  never  silent ;  but  when  it  occurs. 

•  after  a  long  vowel  or  a  diphthong  in  the  fame 
syllable,  as  in  here,  fur,  murmur,  our.  mirt.  &c., 
it  is  commonly  and  entirely  suppress  cd.  both  in 

;  the  United  States  and  the  south  of  England. 

§  86  In  English  usage,  when  the  letter  r  is 
preceded  in  an  accented  syllable  by  a  long  vowel 
or  a  diphthong,  and  is  followed  by  a  vowel  in 
the  next  syllable,  it  uniformly  represents  both 
the  palatal,  or  smooth,  and  the  dental,  or  trilled, 

j  sound  of  this  letter,  as  in  luro,  -iris,  glory,  lurid, 
pronounced  hf-r'ro,  ir'ris.  pL  r  TV.  ITrrid.  In 
the  United  States,  this  double  power  of  the  let- 
ter r  is  chiefly,  though  not  jiivaiiiibly.  restricted 
to  the  derivatives  of  words  ending  in  r  or  re 
preceded  by  a  long  vowel  or  a  diphthong,  as  in 
poorer  (poor'rer),  from  poor  ;  boring  (borring), 
from  lore  :  airy  (ar'ry ),  from  air ;  peerage  (peeiy- 
rage)  from  peer;  wiry  (wlrry ),  from  wire ;  vrnr- 
iiyring),  from  secure  ;  but,  on  the  other 
hand,  we  say  hr'ro,  i'ris,  gln'ry,  lu'rid,  &c.,  be- 
cause these  words  are  not  derived  from  any  other 
words  ia  the  lanpruage. 

It  is  to  be  observed  that  those  orthoepiste 
who  maintain  that  r  has  one  invariable  Found, 
assert  that  the  only  peculiarity  in  the  English 
pronunciation  of  such  words  as  brrn,  iris.  &c..

nunciation to  indicate  the  sound  here  described, 
on  account  of  the  relationship  of  this  sound  to 
that  commonly  expressed  by  the  digraph  sh. 
But  the  two  letters  z/i  never  come  together  in  the 
proper  orthography  of  any  English  word.  The 
sound  for  which  they  stand  is  represented  by  zi 
(when  the  z  occurs  in,  or  is  immediately  pre- 
ceded by,  an  accented  syllable,  and  the  i  is  fol- 
lowed by  another  vowel,  and  occurs  in  an  unac- 
cented syllable,  as  in  glazier) ;  by  the  zy  im- 
plied in  zu  (=  zyoo),  as  in  azure ;  by  s  in  sym- 
posium, &c.  ;  by  si  in  certain  situations  (see  § 
90);  by  ti  in  the  single  word  transition,  as 
sometimes  pronounced;  and  by  g  in  one  or  two 
words  adopted  from  Uie  French,  as  rouge. 

ASSIMILATION   OF   CONSONANTS. 

§  105.  When  a  whispered  and  a  yocal  con- 
sonant come  together  in  the  same  syllable,  it  is 
generally  very  difficult,  in  fluent  pronunciation, 
to  preserve  each  in  its  regular  and  appropriate 
Bound.  Hence  it  frequently  becomes  necessary 
to  change  the  character  of  the  one  or  of  the 
other,  in  order  to  make  the  combination  readily 
pronounceable.  This -is  generally  done,  in  Eng- 
lish, by  assimilating  the  sound  of  the  second 
co'hsonant,  whether  whispered  or  vocal,  to  that 
of  the  first.  Thus,  in  chintz,  the  vocal  conso- 
nant z  assumes  the  sound  of  its  whispered  cor- 
respondent .s,  in  order  to  unite  with  the  whis- 
pered t.  On  the  other  hand,  the  s  in  ivlnds  is 
vocalized,  or  assumes  the  sound  of  z,  for  the 
sake  of  corresponding  with  the  vocal  d.  Some- 
times, though  rarely,  the  sound  of  the  first 
consonant  is  assimilated  to  that  of  the  second, 
as  in  fpasm  (spazm). 

This  affinity  between  these  two  classes  of 
consonants  is  an  important  fact,  and  one  which 
needs  to  be  familiarly  known.  For  there  are 
four  very  common  inflectional  terminations 
which  invariably  come  under  its  infiuenfip, 
namely  :  1.  Possessive  forms  in  s,  as  maid's 
(maidz)  ;  2.  Plurals  in  s,  as  tubs  (tubz),  groves 
(grjvz)  ;  3.  S  in  the  third  person  singular  of 
verbs,  as  loads  (loadz),  smooths  (smooths) ; 
4.  Preterits  and  participles  in  d  preceded  by  e 
mute,  as  in  dashed  (dasht),  ingulfed  (ingulft). 

DUPLICATION  OF  CONSONANTS. 
§  106.  In.  many  words,  a  consonant  is 
doubled  between  two  vowels ;  yet,  in  such 
cases,  no  more  than  one  articulation  is  ever 
used  in  speaking.  In  banner,  for  example,  we 
close  the  organs  but  once  between  the  first  and 
second  syllables  ;  nor  is  it  possible  to  use  both 
of  the  letters  n  without  pronouncing  ban,  then 
intermitting  the  voice  entirely,  opening  the 
organs,  and  closing  thum  a  second  time.  Hence, 
in  all  cases,  when  the  same  consonant  is  writ- 
ten twice  between  vowels,  as  in  banner,  robbing, 


\  &c.,  one  of  them  only  is  represented  by  an  ar- 
I  ticulation  of  the  organs  ;  and  the  only  reason 
for  repeating  the  consonant  is  to  indicate  the  fact 
that  the  preceding  vowel  has  its  short  sound. 

But  although  only  one  articulation  is  ever 
used,  or  in  fluent  speech  possibly  can  be  used, 
where  a  consonant  is  written  twice,  yet  in  some 
words  the  articulation  is  dwelt  upon  for  an  ap- 
preciable space  of  time,  producing  an  apparent 
duplication  of  the  sound.  This  effect  takes 
place  in  many  derived  words  in  which  the  prim- 
itive ends  or  begins  with  the  same  letter  as 
that  with  which  a  superadded  suffix  or  prefix 
of  English  origin  respectively  begins  or  ends,  as 
in  soulless,  foully,  keenness,  misstep,  outtravel, 
unnatural.  The  same  effect  takes  place  in  most 
compound  words,  in  which  the  second  part 
begins  with  the  same  sound  as  that  with  which 
the  first  part  ends,  as  in  post-town,  head-dress, 
htdf-JUled,  —  See  §  121. 


ACCENT. 

§  107.  Accent  is  a  particular  stress  or  effort 
of  voice  upon  certain  syllables  of  word?,  which 
distinguishes  them  from  the  others  by  a  greater 
distinctness  and  loudness  of  pronunciation. 
Accent  is  of  two  kinds,  primary,  as  in  in-tend', 
where  the  full  force  of  the  voice  is  on  the  last 
syllable,  and  secondary,  as  in  su'per-in-tend', 
where  the  first  syllable  is  distinguished  by  a 
stress  greater  than  that  laid  on  the  second  and 
third  syllables,  though  less  than  that  laid  on 
the  last.  In  some  words  there  are  two  second- 
ary or  subordinate  accents,  as  in  in-com'pre- 
hen'si-bil'i-ty. 

NOTE.  —  (1.)  The  general  tendency  of  accent, 
whether  primary  or  secondary,  is  to  shorten  all 
vowels  but  w,  when  further  back  than  the  pen- 
ultimate syllable,  as  in  ten'emeiit,  nef'essari- 
ness,  an'atom'ical,  person'ijica'tion,  &c. ;  but 
we  say  lu'bricate,nntinotlub'ricate ;  tru'culency, 
and  not  truc'ulency;  su'perabitn'dant,  and  not 
sup' erabun' d  ant ,  &c.  This  tendency  generally 
fails,  if  the  accented  syllable  is  followed  by  two 
unaccented  vowels,  as  in  pe'ri-od,  ma'ni-ac, ;  or 
by  two  vowels  of  which  the  former  only  is  un- 
accented, as  in  rle'vi-a'tion,  o'ri-en'tal. 

(2.)  The  primary  and  secondary  accents  are, 
in  certain  cases,  so  nearly  equal  that  we  inter- 
change them  freely,  "  making,"  as  Walker  re- 
murks,  "  the  secondary  principal  and  the  prin- 
cipal secondary."  Examples  are  ambuscade, 
cavalcade,  caricature,  etiquette,  reverie,  confi- 
dante, governante,  invalid,  n.,  parachute,  &c. 

(3.)  Many  in  America  give  a  marked  second- 
ary accent  in  certain  words  which  properly  have 
but  one  accent,  and  that  on  a  pre-antepenulti- 
mate  syllable,  as  in  ter'ri-to'ry,  dif'fi-cSl'ty, 
cii-'cum-stan'ces,  in'ter-Sst'ing,  &c.  This  dron- 
ing fault  may  be  c  orrected  by  giving  the  accented 
syllable  a  sharp  percussion,  which  carries  the 
voice  lightly  through  the  rest  of  the  word. 


PRINCIPLES    OF    PRONUNCIATION. 


DIVIDED  USAGE. 

§  108.  In  quite  a  large  number  of  words, 
there  is  a  diversity  of  practice  among  good 
speakers  as  to  the  place  of  the  primary  accent. 
This  arises  mainly  from  a  conflict  between  cer- 
tain great  principles  which  affect  the  seat  of  the 
accent.  A  few  of  these  will  now  be  mentioned, 
with  a  view  to  account  for  this  diversity. 

§  109.  FIRST  PRINCIPLE.  —  Derivatives  take 
for  a  time,  if  not  permanently,  the  accent  of 
the  original  words  from  which  they  are  formed, 
as  resolve1,  from  resol'vo,  aspect'  (Shakespeare, 
Milton),  from  aspectus,  Hinrlosian'ee,  from  Hin- 
dustan',  &c.  So  also  words  derived  from  other 
English  words  by  adding  one  or  more  syllables 
to  their  beginning  or  end  ;  as,  ivit/iin'  from  in, 
improp'er  from  prop'er,  po'cttss  frompo'et,sfr'- 
viceable  from  Sfr'vice,  re-ad  j  ust'ment  from  ad- 
just', &c. 

§  110.  SECOND  PRINCIPLE.  —  Ease  of  utter- 
ance has  some  influence  i.i  deciding  the  place 
of  the  accent.  Ac'ceptaVe,  receptacle,  and 
u'tensil,  fashionable  in  the  days  of  Walker,  have 
now  taken  tlie  easier  accentuation  of  accept'- 
able,  recept'ade,  and  uten'sil.  Dyspep'sy  has 
taken  the  place  of  dys'pepsy  in  the  marking  of 
Webster,  Smart,  Cull,  AVright,  Clarke,  Cooley, 
&c.,  and  is  now  the  prevailing  accentuation. 
Ou  the  same  ground,  ances'trat  is  preferred  to 
an'cestral  by  Jameson,  Webster,  Boag,  Clarke, 
and  Cull,  in  conformity  with  campes'tral,  and 
other  similar  words.  These  may  serve  as  in- 
stances of  the  application  of  this  principle. 

DISSYLLABLES. 

§  111.  THIRD  PRINCIPLE.  —  In  words  of  two 
syllables,  there  is  a  tendency  (though  with  nu- 
merous exceptions)  to  accent  the  former  or 
penultimate  syllable,  as  in  a'gue,  bar'on,  com'- 
mon,  dii'cord,  &c. 

NOTE.  —  (1.)  This  tendency  meets  with  a 
powerful  counteraction  in  Principle  No.  1, 
namely,  that  of  derivatives  retaining  the  accent 
of  their  primitives,  as  in  amuse',  deter',  offend', 
&c.  It  is  natural,  in  such  formatives,  to  place 
the  accent  on  the  radical  part  of  the  word  ;  and 
hence  some  hundreds  of  our  dissyllables,  es- 
pecially verbs  and  adverbs,  have  their  accent  on 
the  last  syllable. 

(2.)  Still,  there  is  a  constant  struggle  (espe- 
cially among  the  common  people,  who  are  un- 
acquainted with  the  derivation  of  words)  to  draw- 
back the  accent  to  the  first  syllable.  Here 
arises  another  conflict,  which  produces  a  diver- 
sity of  accent :  and  the  common  people,  being 
a  majority,  are,  on  the  whole,  slowly  gaining 
upon  those  who  are  tenacious  of  Principle  No. 
1.  Thus,  con' note  and  in'iiate  (instead  of  con- 
nate' and  innate')  are  generally  prevalent  in 
America,  and  are  now  sanctioned  by  recent 
English  orthoepists.  Re1  tail  (for  retail1)  is  now 
the  marking  of  a  majority  of  the  orthoepists. 
De'lail  (for  detail')  is  less  prevalent,  but  is 
sanctioned  by  Smart,  Clarke,  Cull,  Cooley,  &c. 


Pro'lix  and  pre1  text  (for  prolix'  and  pretext')  are 
widely  prevalent  (especially  the  former),  aud 
are  authorized  by  some  recent  lexicographers. 
Bom' bast  (for  bombast')  is  the  accentuation  of 
Walker,  Barclay,  Richardson,  Cull,  and  Web- 
ster; it  is  admitted  by  Worcester,  and  is  ex- 
tensivriy  used  in  the  United  States.  Eu'reau 
(for  bureau1)  was  admitted  by  Dr.  Webster,  and 
is  very  generally  applied  to  the  article  of  furni- 
ture, while  bureau'  is  sometimes  uj-ed  in  refer- 
ence to  a  department  of  tlie  government. 

J  112.  We  have  about  eighty  cases  among 
our  dissyllables  in  which  the  same  word  is  used 
for  a  verb  on  the  one  hand,  and  a  noun  or  an 
adjective  on  the  other.  To  distinguish  between 
them,  we  accent  the  nouns  aud  the  .adjectives 
on  the  first  syllable,  and  ttie  verbs  on  the  last, 
as,  a  con'vtrl,  to  conrerl'  ;  a  con'tract,  to  con- 
tract', &c.  It  is  unnecessary  to  give  the  list  in 
full,  since  the  accent  of  nearly  all  these  words 
has  been  long  settled  by  general  usage. 

NOTE.  — There  are  a  few  cases  of  divided  use 
in  nouns,  which  will  sooner  or  later  be  made  to 
conform  to  the  general  rule.  For  example, 
usage  will  probably  soon  fix  permanently  on 
per'fect  for  the  adjective,  and  perfect1  for  the 


Hie  veru  ;  jfivceffis  lut  \-iiv  MUUII,  juiu  //M/I  ce< 
for  the  verb  ;  de'tail  for  the  noun,  and  detail1 
for  the  verb;  in' crease  for  the  noun,  and  in- 
crease' for  the  verb;  re'lail  for  the  noun,  and 
retail'  for  the  verb;  sur'vey  for  the  noun,  aud 
surrey'  for  the  verb. 

j  There  is  a  tendency  among  many  to  accent 
the  first  syllable  of  the  noun  ally,  nllifs ;  and, 
although  without  sanction  as  yet  from  a  siiiirle 
orthoepist,  it  would  not  be  surprising  if  tiiis 
tendency  should  prevail,  making  the  noun  al'ly, 
al'lies,  and  the  verb  ally'. 

§  113.  We  have  a  few  dissyllables  which  are 
at  once  nouns  and  adjectives.  These  are  dis- 
tinguished by  accenting  the  nouns  on  the  first 
syllable,  and  the  adjectives  on  the  last. 

NOUNS.  ADJECTIVES. 

Au'gust,  the  month.  August/,  noble. 

Com'p:ict,  an  engagement.  Compact',  close. 
Ex'ile,  banishment.  Exile',  small,  slender.

Su'pine  (in  grammar).        Supine',  indolent. 
I     TRISYLLABLES  AND  POLYSYLLABLES. 

§114.  FOURTH  PRINCIPLE.  —  In  words  of 
three  or  more  syllables,  there  is  a  strong  ten- 
dency to  accent  the  antepenult,  or  third  sylla- 
ble from  the  end,  as  in  el'oquent,  ac'cident,  op- 
portu'nity. 

|  NOTE.  —  This  tendency  is  counteracted  by 
'  that  of  dfriration  (  Principle  No.  1.  See  §  109) ; 
!  and  here  arises  another  "conflict,"  which,  to 
1  some  extent,  arrays  our  scholars  on  the  one 

side,  and  the  body  of  the  people  on  the  other. 

Many  scholars,  for  example,  are  strongly  in- 


PRINCIPLES    OF    PRONUNCIATION. 


xix 


clined  to  say  con  tem'platf,  demon' strate,  confis'- 
cate,  obdu'rate.,  &c.  (forgetting  that  they  cpme 
from  participles,  conttmfila'tus,  demonstra'tus, 
&c. ),  because  by  Latin  rules  their  second  syllable 
is  long  ;  while  the  mass  of  the  people,  who  know 
nothing  of  Latin,  and  are  governed  by  English 
analogies,  are  equally  bent  on  saying  con' tern- 
plate,  detn1  onslrate ,  ob'durate,  &c.  The  latter 
pronunciation  is  now  very  extensively  heard, 
and  thus  we  have  a  "  divided  usage"  in  respect 
to  these  aud  similar  words. 

§  115.  It  is  a  just  principle,  laid  down  by 
Walker,  that  "  when  words  come  to  us  whole 
from  the  Greek  or  Latin,  the  same  accent  ought 
to  be  preserved  as  in  the  original."  Hence  the 
following  words  ought  to  be  accented  as  here 
marked:  namely,  Abdo'men,  hori'zon,  deco'rmn, 
diplo'ma,  muse'um,  sono'rous,  acu'men,  bitu'- 
men,  and,  on  like  grounds,  farra'go,  and  others. 
Yet  the  strong  tendency  of  our  language  to  ac- 
cent the  antepenultimate  in  all  words  of  three 
or  more  syllables  has  caused  this  principle  to 
be  violated  in  some  cases,  as  in  am'azon,  min1- 
ister,  or'ator,  &c. 

§  116.  Words  of  more  than  two  syllables 
having  the  same  orthography  are  generally  dis- 
tinguished by  a  difference  of  accent,  as  at1  tri- 
bute, n.,  and  attrib'nte,  v.,  miiKOn'duct.  n.,  and 
misconduct',  v.,  o'virthrow,  n.,  and  overthrow', 
v.  In  such  cases,  the  nouns  have  the  accent 
further  from  the  end. 

§  117.  With  a  very  few  exceptions,  words  of 
more  than  two  syllables  having  the  following 
terminations  take  the  accent  on  the  antepenult, 
or  last  syllable  but  two  :  — • 

-cracy  ;      as,  democracy,  iheoc'racy  ; 

-ferous  ;     as,  somniferous,  umbelliferous  ; 

-fluent  ;     as,  affluent,  circmn'fluent ; 

-fluous  ;     as,  mellifluous,  superfluous; 

-gnnal ;     as,  diag'onal.  hexag'onal ; 

-gony  ;       as,  cosmog'omj,  tkeog'ony  ; 

-'^rapher  ;  as,  lexicog'rapher,  slenog'rapher  ; 

-graphy  ;   as,  photog'raphy,  typography  ; 

-loger ;       as,  philol'nger,  axtrol'oger  ; 

•Jogist ;      as,  entomologist,  physiologist  ; 

-logy  ;        as,  chronol'ogy,  mythot'ogy  ; 

-lor/uy  ;      as,  col'loquy,  soliUoquy  ; 

-meter;      as,  barom'eter,  hygrom'eter  ; 

•^netry  ;      as,  altim'etry,  geom'eiry  ; 

-nom;/ ;     as,  astron'omy,  econ'omy  ; 

-paroits  ;    as,  ovip'arous,  v/rip'aroiis  ; 

-pat/iy ;      as,  ap'athy,  antip'athy  ; 

-strophe  ;    as,  apostrophe,  catastrophe  ; 

-tomy ;       as,  anat'omy,  lithol.'omy  ; 

-trophy,      as,  at'rophy,  hyper1  trophy  ; 

-vorous,      as,  carniv'orous,  graminivorous. 

§  118.  Words  of  more  than  two  syllables, 
ending  in  -cute,  -date,  -gate,  -fy,  -tude,  and  -ly, 
preceded  by  a  vowel,  have,  for  the  most  part, 
the  accent  on  the  antepenult ;  as  dep'recate,  ' 
rus'ticate,  recip'rocate  ;  an'tedate,  elu'cidaie,  ac-  \ 
com'modate;  prop'agate,  delegate,  fu'migate ; 


rar'efy,  sanc'tify ;  qui'etude,  latitude;  soci'ety, 
acid'ity,  dep'uty. 

§  119.  The  penultimate  syllable  is  to  be  ac- 
cented in  almost  all  words  having  the  sound 
of  sh,  or  zA,  or  of  consonant  y  immediately 
before  the  last  vowel  or  diphthong  ;  e.  g.,  dona'- 
tion,  conces'sion,  illu'sion,  controversial,  ver- 
mil'ion,  opin'ion. 

THE  TERMINATIONS  1C  AND  ICS. 

§  120.  Words  ending  in  if  and  ics  (deriva. 
tives  from  words  in  i/cos  or  icits,  in  Greek  or 
Latin,  or  formed  after  the  same  analogy)  have 
their  accent  on  the  penult :  as,  epidem'ic,  scien- 
tific, &c.  The  following  words  are  exceptions, 
having  the  accent  on  the  antepenult ;  namely, 
ag'aric,  Ar'abic,  arithmetic,  ar'senic,  n.,  cath1- 
olir,  chol'eric,  ephem'cric,  her'etic,  lu'natic,  pieth1- 
oric,  po'.'itic,  rhet'oric,  and  tur'meric.  Climacteric 
has  usually  the  antepenultimate  accent,  though 
some  pronounce  it  climacteric.  In  like  man- 
ner, the  nouns  empiric  and  schismatic,  and  the 
noun  and  adjective  splenetic,  are  sometimes  ac- 
cented on  the  penult,  and  sometimes  on  the 
antepenult. 


§  121.  When  two  words  of  similar  formation 
and  the  same  accentuation  arc  i -oatrasted  with 
each  other,  the  accent  is  transferred  to  the  syl- 
lable of  differi  nee  (unless  this  is  already  accented, 
as  in  em'inent,  im'mintnt),  and  the  regularly 
accented  syllable  takes  a  secondary  accent ; 
thus,  undo'  is  pronounced  un'do1  when  opposed 
to  do  or  to  out'do',  and  intervene'  is  pronounced 
in'tervene.'  when  used  antithetically  to  su'per- 
vene'  So  also  with  am'puta'tion  and  im'puta'- 
tion,  bi'en'nial  and  tri'en'nial,  op'pose'  and  *»;;'- 
post'  ;  ex'er'cise  and  cx'or'cise ;  proph'et'  and 
profit';  do' nor'  and  do'nce'. 

§  122  When  separately  pronounced,  all 
monosyllabic  words  have  their  vowel  as  dis- 
tinctly sounded  as  if  under  accent.  But  in 
connected  discourse,  certain  classes  of  mo:io- 
syllablcs,  such  as  articles,  prepositions,  pro- 
nouns, conjunctions,  and  auxiliary  verbs,  are 
usually  uueniphasized,  and  their  vowel  is  lia- 
ble to  the  same  corruption  of  quality  as  that  in 
an  unaccented  syllable  of  a  word.  But  when 
used  antithetically  to  other  words,  they  are 
emphasized,  receiving  a  full  and  distinct  stress 
of  voice.  Thus,  we  say  a,  your,  tkit.  t,';c,  frSm, 
fir,  &c.,  when  wo  pronounce  the  words  by 
themselves  ;  but  in  actual  use  they  become 
nearly  or  quite  ft,  yur,  that,  thti,  fram,  fur, 
&c.  The  following 'passage  from  the  tf  Specta- 
tor," No.  80,  well  illustrates  this  tendency  to  a 
corruption  of  the  vowel  sound  in  unemphasi/ied 
monosyllables  :  —  "  My  lords,  with  humble  sub- 
mission that  that  I  say  is  this,  that  that  that 
that  gentleman  has  advanced  is  not  that  that 
he  should  have  proved  to  your  lordships."

of  a  noun,  or  the  third  person  singular  of  a  in  which  the  final  consonant  is  preceded  by  qu

only  important  exceptions  are  as,  gas,  has,  was,  the  rule,  since  the  u  performs  the  office  of  the

The  derivatives  of  the  word  gas  (except  gassed, 
gassing,  and  gassy)  are  written  with  but  one  5  ; 
as,  gaseous,  gaseity,  gasify.  Ex'cellence,  as  be-

sound  of  k, and  in  which  c  follows  the  vowel,  have  <  and  the  like,  are  written  with  the  I  doubled, 
usually  k  added  after  the  c;  as  in  black,  fleck, '  since  they  are  derived  respectively  from  the 
click,  knock,  and  buck.  Lac,  sac,  talc,  zinc,  soc,  Latin  c/iancellarius  (through  the  French),  and 
arc,  marc,  ore,  and  fisr,  are  exceptions.  metalltim,  and  the  Greek  (cpvtrraAAos.  So  also 

Words  of  more  than  one  syllabic,  ending  in  the  word  tranquillity  retains  the  double  I  as

The  words  almanac,  sandarac,  limbec,  rebec,  xe-

written  with  k  after  the  c,  especially  in  England.

two  different  consonants,  the  final  consonant  la 
not  doubled  in  derivatives  formed  by  the  addi-

ing  in  a  single  consonant,  and  accented  on  some 
other  syllable  than  the  last,  the  final  consonants 
of  which  are,  by  very  many  writers  and  lexicog- 
raphers, doubled  ia  their  derivatives,  unneces- 
sarily and  contrarily  to  analogy.  This  practice 
appears  to  have  arisen  from  a  desire  to  prevent 
the  vowel  of  the  final  syllable  of  the  primitive 
from  being  inaccurately  pronounced  long  in  the 
derivatives.  These  words  are  chiefly  those  end- 
ing in  /,  with  also  a  few  of  other  terminations. 
The  following  list,  the  words  in  which  are  chiefly 
verbs,  includes  the  most  important  of  those  in 
regard  to  which  usage  varies  ;  namely,  apparel, 
barrel,  bevel,  bias,  bowel,  cancel,  carburet  (and 
all  similar  words  ending  in  uret),  cavil,  carol, 
channel,  chisel,  compromit,  counsel,  cudgel,  dial, 
dishevel,  dowel,  drivel,  duel,  empanel,  enamel, 
equal,  funnel,  gambol,  gravel,  grovel,  handsel, 
hatchel,  imperil,  jewel,  kennel,  kidnap,  label, 
laurel,  level,  libel, marshal,  marvel,  medal, metal, 
model,  panel,  parallel,  par  eel,  penr.il,  peril,  pis- 
tol, pommel,  quarrel,  ravel,  revel,  rival,  rowel, 
shovel,  shrivel,  snivel,  tassel,  tinsel,  trammel, 
travel,  tunnel,  unravel,  vial,  victual,  worship. 
In  this  Dictionary,  the  derivatives  of  these  words 
are  made  to  conform  to  the  rule,  as  recommended 
by  Walker,  Lowth,  and  other  eminent  scholars. 

§  131(91'  Derivatives  formed  from  words  end- 
ing in  a  double  consonant,  by  adding  one  or  more 
syllables,  commonly  retain  both  consonants  ; 
as,  ebb,  ebbing ;  stiff,  stiffness ;  skill,  skillful, 
skillfulness  ;  will,  willful,  willfidlness ;  dull,  dull- 
ness ;  full,  fullness.  So  also  the  double  I  is  re- 
tained in,  the  words  installment,  inthrallment, 
thralldom,  and  enrollment  (from  install,  inthrall, 
thrall,  and  enroll),  in  order  to  prevent  the  false 
pronunciation  they  might  receive  if  spelled  with 
one  /.  Many  writers  and  lexicographers,  es- 
pecially in  England,  omit  one  I  in  these  words, 
as  also  in  the  derivatives  of  skill,  ivill,  dull,  and 
full,  formed  by  adding  the  syllables  ly  and  ness. 

The  derivatives  of  pontiff  are  exceptions  to 
the  rule,  being  written  with  only  one  f;  as, 
jjontific,  pontifical,  pontificial,  and  the  like. 
One  I  also  is  dropped  in  a  few  words  formed 
by  adding  the  termination  ly  to  words  ending 
in  II,  in  order  to  prevent  the  concurrence  of 
three  Vs  ;  as,  dull,  dully  ;  full,  fully. 

§  132  (10).  In  derivatives  formed  from  words 
ending  with  silent  e,  the  e  is  generally  retained 
when  the  termination  begins  with  a  conso- 
nant ;  as,  pale ,  paleness ;  hate,  hateful ;  incite, 
incitement.  When,  however,  the  e  is  immedi- 
ately preceded  by  another  vowel  (except  el),  it  is 
often  dropped  from  the  derivative  ;  as,  due,  duly  ; 
argue,  argument;  true,  truly ;  awe,  awful;  and 
the  derivatives  and  compounds  of  these  words. 

The  words  wholly,  nursling,  wisdom,  abridg- 
ment, acknowledgment,  lodgment,  judgment, 
and  the  compounds  of  some  of  these,  are  ex- 
ceptions. The  last  four,  however,  are  written, 
by  many  authors,  aiiridgement,  acknowledge- 
ment, lodgement,  judgement. 

§  133  (11)-  In  derivatives  formed  from  words 


ending  with  silent  e,  when  the  termination 
begins  with  a  vowel,  the  e  is  generally  omitted, 
except  in  the  cases  mentioned  in  the  next 
paragraph  ;  as,  bride,  bridal ;  plume,  plumage  ; 
come,  coming;  move,  movable  ;  fleece,  fleecy ; 
force,  forcible  ;  true,  truism. 

The  e  is  retained  in  the  words  hoeing,  shoe- 
ing, and  toeing  (from  hoe,  shoe,  and  toe),  in 
order  to  prevent  a  doubt  as  to  the  pronuncia- 
tion, that  might  arise  in  case  it  were  Omitted. 
It  is  retained,  also,  in  the  words  dyeing,  singe- 
ing, springeing,  swingeing,  tingeing  (from  die, 
singe,  springe,  swinge,  tinge),  to  distinguish  them 
from  dying,  singing,  springing,  swinging,  ting- 
ing (from  die,  sing,  spring,  swing,  ting.)  The 
word  mileage,  as  commonly  written,  does  not  omit 
the  e,  though  it  is  sometimes,  and  more  correctly , 
spelled  milage.  The  e,  standing,  in  a  derivative, 
before  a  termination  beginning  with  a  or  o,  and 
immediately  after  c  or  g,  is  retained  in  order  to 
preserve  the  soft  sounds  of  these  consonants ; 
as,  peace,  peaceable  ;  notice,  noticeable;  manage, 
•manageable ;  change,  changeable  ;  advantage, 
advantageous;  mortgage,  mortgageor. 

§  134  (12).  In  derivatives  formed  from  words 
ending  in  ie,  by  adding  the  termination  ing, 
the  e  is  dropped,  and  the  i  changed  to  y,  in 
order  to  prevent  two  i's  from  coming  together  ; 
as,  die,  dying;  hie,  hying;  lie,  lying;  tie, 
tying;  vie,  vying. 

§  135  (13)-  In  derivatives  of  words  ending  in 
y,  preceded  by  a  consonant,  and  formed  by  ap- 
pending any  termination  except  one  beginning 
with  i,  the  y  is  usually  changed  into  i;  as, 
mercy,  merciless  ;  tidy,  tidiness  ;  modify,  mod- 
ifies ;  foggy,  fogginess  ;  pity,  pitiful. 

The  derivatives  of  adjectives  of  one  syllable 
ending  in  y,  preceded  by  a  consonant,  are  ex- 
ceptions, and  usually  retain  the  y;  as,  shy, 
shyness  ;  sly,  slyest  ;  dry,  dryly  ;  wry,  wryness. 
But  the  adjectives  drier  and  driest,  from  dry, 
are  commonly  written  with  i  instead  of  y. 
Derivatives  formed  by  adding  the  termination 
ship,  as  secretaryship,  suretyship,  ladyship,  and 
the  like,  also  retain  the  ?/,  though  some  authors 
write  them  with  i,  according  to  the  rule.  Baby- 
hood and  ladykin  are  likewise  exceptions. 

§  136  (14).  Derivatives  formed  by  affixing  a 
termination  to  words  ending  in  y,  preceded  by  a 
vowel,  generally  retain  the  y  unchanged  ;  as, 
gay,  gayety,  gayly  ;  play,  player,  plays  ;  sway, 
swayed ;  obey,  obeying  ;  joy,  joyful. 

The  words  daily,  laid,  paid,  said,  saith,  slain, 
and  staid  (from  dayt  lay,  pay,  say,  slay,  and 
stay),  with  their  compounds,  are  exceptions. 
Staid,  however,  is  sometimes  written  stayed. 
Derivatives  from  words  ending  in  uy,  as  collo- 
quies, from  colloquy,  are  not  exceptions  to  the 
rule,  as  u,  in  such  cases,  is  not  strictly  a  vowel, 
but  stands  for  the  consonant  w. 

§  137  (15).  Derive  i;ves  formed  by  appending

RULES    FOR    SPELLING. 


a  syllable  beginning  with  a  vowel  to  words  end- 
ing with  a  vowel  sound,  generally  retain  the 
letter  or  letters  representing  such  sound  ;  as, 
huzza,  huzzaed ;  agree,  agreeable,  agreeing ; 
wiifh,  w<  in/tin^  :  echo,  echoed;  woo,  wooes. 

Derivatives  of  words  of  this  class  ending  in 
silent  e,  as  also  those  formed  from  words  end- 
ing in  double  e,  by  adding  a  termination  be- 
ginning with  e,  drop  the  final  e  ;  as,  hoe,  hoed; 
sue,  sued ;  owe,  owed ;  free,  freer,  freest  ;  agree, 
fgrced.  The  cases  mentioned  in  sections  11, 12, 
and  13  are  also  exceptions. 

§  138  (13)-  Derivatives  formed  by  prefixing 
one  or  more  syllables  to  words  ending  in  a 
double  consonant  commonly  retain  both  con- 
sonants ;  as,  rebuff,  befall,  inthrall,  foretell,  ful- 
fill, enroll,  emboss  (from  buff,  fall,  tftrall,  tell,  Jill, 
roll,  boss). 

The  word  until  is  an  exception,  being  always 
written  with  one  /.  Those  words  of  this  class 
which  end  in  II  are  written  by  some  authors, 
especially  in  England,  with  one  I ;  as,  befal,  in- 
thral,  foretel,  fulfil,  enrol.  The  words  distill  and 
instill  should  be  written  with  the  I  doubled, 
though  they  are  often  written  distil  and  instil, 
with  only  one  I. 

§  139  (1^)-  Compound  words  formed  by  join- 
ing two  or  more  words  commonly  retain  all  the 
letters  of  the  simple  words  ;  as,  stiff-necked,  well- 
bred,  dull-eyed,  save-all. 

There  are  numerous  exceptions  to  this  rule, 
many  of  them  compounds  which  by  long  use 
have  acquired  the  force  of  single  words.  They 
are  the  following ;  namelj',  some  compounds 
of  all  and  well ;  as,  almighty,  almost,  alone, 
already,  also,  although,  altogether,  always, 
withal,  therewithal,  u-lierewilhal,  welcome,  wel- 
fur:- :  —  compounds  of  mass ;  as,  Candlemas, 
Christmas,  Lammas,  Michaelmas,  &c.  ;  — 
words  of  which  the  second  part  is  the  adjective 
full;  as,  artful,  hateful,  ruef id,  woeful;  —  also, 
the  words  r hilblain,  fulfill,  namesake,  neckerchief, 
numskull,  pastime,  standish,  and  wherever. 

§  140  (18).  The  plural  of  nouns  regularly 
cuds  in  s,  or,  in  certain  classes  of  words,  in  es. 

When  the  noun  in  the  singular  ends  with 
such  a  sound  that  the  sound  of  5  can  unite 
with  it,  and  be  pronounced  without  forming 
a  separate  syllable,  s  only  is  added  in  forming  the 
plural ;  as,  sea,  seas ;  tree,  trees ;  woe,  woes ;  canto, 
tanlos  ;  virtue,  virtues  ;  cab,  cabs  ;  bead,  beads  ; 
chief,  chiefs  :  bay^  bags  ;  path,  paths ;  lock,  locks  ; 
gem,  gems :  jam ,  jams ;  ear,  ears ;  aft,  arts.  A  few 
plurals  from  nouns  ending  in  o  preceded  by  a  con- 
sonant, end  in  es :  as,  echo,  echoes ;  cargo,  car- 
goes ;  embargo,  embargoes ;  motto,  mottoes ;  pota- 
to, potatoes.  Other  nouns  of  this  class  genera  11\- 
form  their  plurals  regularly ,  though  usage  differs 
with  regard  to  some  of  them.  Those  in  which 
final  o  is  preceded  by  a  vowel  form  their  plurals 
Tvgularly.  With  regard  to  nouns  ending  in  i, 


usage  differs,  though  they  are  more  properly 
written  with  the  termination  is. 

When  the  noun  in  the  singular  ends  with 
such  a  sound  (as  that  of  ch,  sh,  j,  s,  x,  or  z) 
that  the  sound  of  i  can  not  unite  with  it  in 
pronunciation,  but  must  form  a  separate  syl- 
lable, e  is  inserted  before  s  in  forming  the 
plural,  unless  the  word  ends  with  silent  e,  in 
which  case  the  latter  serves  to  form  a  separate 
syllable  with  5,  as,  church,  churchts  ;  rush, 
rushes;  age,agcs;  lace,  laces;  gas, gases;  box, 
boxes ;  maze,  mazes. 

To  express  the  plural  of  a  letter,  figure,  or 
any  character  or  sign,  or  of  a  word  mentioned 
without  regard  to  its  meaning,  the  letter  s, 
generally  preceded  by  the  apostrophe,  is  ap- 
pended, as  in  the  phrases,  "  The  two/'s  in  all ;  " 
"The  ivlnfs  and  wherefore's  of  the  question." 

§  141  (1^*)-  Nouns  ending  in  y  preceded  by  a 
consonant  form  their  plural  by  adding  es  and 
changing  y  into  i;  as,  mercy,  mercies;  lady, 
!  ladies.  This  rule  includes  words  ending  in  yuy, 
in  which  u,  being  pronounced  like  w,  is  strictly 
a  consonant ;  as,  colloquy,  cotloqui/s. 

When  the  singular  of  a  noun  ends  in  y  pre- 
ceded by  a  vowel  (except  u  having  the  power 
of  w),  the  plural  is  regularly  formed  by  adding 
s  only:  as,  day,  days;  key,  keys;  money, 
•moneys  ;  attorney,  attorneys  ;  alloy,  alloys. 

§  142  (20).  The  plurals  of  a  few  nouns  ending 
in  f  or  fe  are  irregularly  formed  by  changing 
f  or  fe  into  ves.  The  following  words,  with 
their  compounds,  are  the  principal  examples  ; 
namely,  life,  lives;  knife,  knives  ;  wife,  wivis  ; 
leaf,  leaves  ;  sheaf,  sheaves  ;  loaf,  loaves  ;  beef, 
In  •  (•'  .v  .•  thief,  thit  res  ;  calf,  calves ;  half,  halves; 
elf,  elves ;  sdf,  selves ;  slulf,  shelves ;  wolf, 
wolves.  The  plural  of  staff  is  sometimes  written 
staffs,  but  more  commonly  staves,  except  when 
it  means  a  corps  of  officers,  either  military  or 
civil,  in  which  sense  it  is  always  written  staff's. 
The  plural  of  wharf  is  generally  written  wharfs 
in  England  ;  in  the  United  States  it  is  more 
commonly,  but  improperly,  written  wharves. 
The  plurals  of  other  nouns  ending  inf,fe,  orff, 
are  formed  regularly  by  the  addition  of  «  only. 

§  143  (21).  In  the  following  nouns,  the  plural 
is  distinguished  from  the  singular  only  by  a 
change  of  the  vowel  or  vowel  sound  of  the 
word;  namely,  man,  men;  woman,  women; 
goose,  geese;  foot,  feet;  tooth,  teeth;  brother, 
brethren;  louse,  lire  ;  mouse,  mice.  Compounds 
ending  with  these  words  form  their  plurals  in 
the  same  manner;  as,  fotman,  foemen;  dor- 
mouse, dormice.  Words  which  end-  in  the  syl- 
lable man,  and  are  not  compounds,  form  their 
plurals  regularly,  by  adding  s  only  ;  as,  cayman, 
cai/mnns  :firman,Jirnians ;  talisman,  Inlismans; 
German,  Germans:  Mussulman,  Mussulmans. 

§  144  (22).  A  few  plurals  end  in  en  ;  namely, 
brother,  brethren ;  child,  children  ;  ox,  oxen. 


RULES    FOR    SPELLING. 


§  145  (23).  The  words  brother,  die,  pea,  and 
penny,  have  each  two  plurals  of  different  forms 
and  with  different  significations  ;  as,  brothers, 
male  children  of  the  same  parent,  also,  mem- 
bers of  the  same  society,  association,  class,  or 
profession  ;  brethren,  members  of  the  same  re- 
ligious or  ecclesiastical  body,  the  word  in  this 
form  being  rarely  used  except  in  religious  writ- 
ings, or  in  scriptural  language,  where  it  also 
has  the  same  meaning  that  brother  has  in  ordi- 
nary language  ;  dies,  implements  for  making 
impressions  by  stamping,  or  for  making  screws, 
also  the  cubical  parts  of  pedestals  ;  dice,  the  cubi- 
cal blocks  used  in  games  of  chance  ;  peas,  seeds 
of  the  pea-plant,  when  a  definite  number  is 
mentioned ;  pease,  the  same  in  bulk,  or  spoken 
of  collectively  ;  pennies,  the  coins,  especially 
when  a  definite  number  is  mentioned  ;  pence, 
the  amount  reckoned  by  these  coins. 

§  148  (24)-  A  few  words,  mostly  names  of 
animals,  have  the  same  form  in  the  plural  as 
in. the  singular;  as,  deer,  sheep,  trout,  &c. 

§  147  (25).  Many  words  adopted  from  foreign 
languages  retain  their  original  plurals  ;  as,  da- 
tum, data;  criterion,  criteria;  genus,  genera; 
larva,  larvss  ;  crisis,  crist  s  ;  matrix,  matrices  ; 
fonts,  foci ;  monsieur,  messieurs. 

Many  words  of  tlii.s  class,  while  retaining  the 
original  plurals,  have  also  a  second,  formed 
after  the  analogy  of  English  words  of  similar 
termination  ;  as,  formula,  formula,  or  formulas; 
beau,  beaux  or  beans;  stratum,  strata  or  stra- 
tums  ;  bandit,  banditti  or  bandits;  cherub,  cher- 
ubim or  cherubs;  seraph,  seraphim  or  seraphs. 
The  plurals  of  the  last  two  words  are  some- 
times incorrectly  written  cherubirns  and  ser- 
aphims,  with  double  plural  terminations. 

§  148  (26).  In  certain  loose  compounds  con- 
sisting of  a  noun  followed  by  an  adjective  or 
other  qualifying  expression,  the  plural  is  com- 
monly formed  by  making  the  same  change  in 
the  noun  as  when  it  stands  alone;  as,  court- 
martial,  courts-martial  ;  cousin-german,  cous- 
in.f-german  ;  son-in-law,  sons-in-law.  When, 
however,  the  adjective  is  so  closely  joined  to 
the  noun  that  the  compound  has  the  force  of 
a  simple  word,  the  plural  of  the  compound  is 
commonly  formed  like  that  of  any  other  word 
of  the  same  termination  ;  as,  cupful,  cupfuls. 

§  149  (27).  There  are  many  words,  besides 
those  mentioned  in  the  preceding  paragraphs,  in 
respect  to  which  good  usage  is  variable.  The 
most  important  of  these  words  are  mentioned 
in  this  and  the  succeeding  sections. 

The  derivatives  of  the  word  villain,  as  villain- 
ous, villainy,  &c.,  though  often  written  villan- 
ous,  viUanij,  &c.,  properly  retain  'he  i,  accord- 
ing to  the  practice  of  many  writer,  like  those 
of  other  words  similarly  ending  in  am,  as 
mountainous,  from  mountain. 

The  words   connection,   deflection,    inflection, 


XX111 

and  refection,  follow  the  spelling  of  the  words 
connect,  deflect,  inflect,  and  reflect,  though  often 
written,  especially  in  England,  connexion,  de- 
flijr.ion,  inflexion,  and  reflexion. 

The  word  woe,  though  often  written  without 
the  final  e,  should  retain  it,  like  most  other 
nouns  of  one  syllable  and  of  similar  form  ;  as, 
doe,  floe,  foe.  hoe,  sloe,  toe,  &c.  Monosyllables 
other  than  nouns,  and  words  of  more  than  one 
syllable,  having  a  similar  termination,  omit  the 
e  ;  as,  do,  go,  no,  so,  canto,  motto,  potato. 

The  words  defense,  expense,  offense,  and  pre- 
tense, are  properly  written  thus,  though  often 
spelled  with  c  instead  of  s;  for  the  i  belongs 
to  the  words  from  which  they  are  derived,  and 
is  also  used  in  all  their  derivatives. 

The  words  drought  and  height  were  formerly 
written  drouth  and  /light,  and  are  still  very  often 
thus  written  in  America. 

The  verb  practice  is  thus  written  like  the 
noun,  in  preference  to  practise,  though  the  latter 
spelling  is  used  by  many  writers,  especially  in 
England.  The  difference  in  spelling  between  the 
noun  and  the  verb  is  properly  observed,  in 
words  of  this  kind,  only  in  such  as  are  ac- 
cented on  the  last  syllable,  as  device,  devise. 

§  15O  (28).  There  is  a  class  of  words  begin- 
ning with  en,  or  in  —  as,  enclose  or  inclose,  en- 
quire, or  inquire,  ensure,  or  insure,  and  the  like, 
—  many  of  which  take  either  form  of  the  prefix 
indifferently.  They  are  chiefly  derived  from 
the  Latin,  either  directly  or  through  the 
French,  the  prefix  in  belonging  to  the  former 
language,  and  en  to  the  latter.  In  some  of 
these  words,  en  is  to  be  preferred  ;  in  others, 
in;  in  many  of  them,  either  may  be  used. 

§  151  (29).  There  is  a  class  of  words  ending 
in  er,  some  of  which  are  written  by  most  au- 
thors with  the  termination  re  ;  as,  center,  meter, 
theater,  &c.,  which  are  often  written  centre, 
metre,  theatre,  &c.  Acre,  chancre,  lucre,  nucre, 
massacre,  and  oyre,  retain  the  termination  re, 
so  as  to  preserve  the  hard  sound  of  the  c  and 
the  g. 

§  152  (30).  There  are  two  classes  of  chemical 
words  ending  respectively,  as  more  commonly 
written,  in  ide  and  ine.  in  regard  to  which 
usage  has  been  variable.  Most  of  them  were 
formerly  written  without  the  final  e,  but  it  is 
now  the  almost  universal  practice  to  retain  it : 
as,  bromide,  iodide,  chlorine,  fluorine,  &c.  The 
word  tannin  is  always  written  without  the  final 
e.  Oxide  is  now  generally  written  with  the  ter- 
mination ide,  though  formerly  by  many  written 
oxi/d,  from  the  supposition  that  the  y  of  the  last 
syllable  represented  the  v  of  the  Greek  6£v«, 
from  which  the  word  is  derived  ;  whereas  the 
last  syllable  is  simply  the  same  as  the  termina- 
tion c"  the  words  bromide,  sulphide,  &c. 

§  153  (31)-  There  is  a  class  of  words  ending, 
as  pronounced,  with  the  sound  of  long  i,  fol-

RULES   FOR   SPELLING. 


lowed  by  z,  some  of  which  are  differently 
written,  by  different  authors,  with  either  ise 
or  ize  to  represent  this  sound  ;  a?,  criticize 
or  criticise  ;  civilize  or  civilise ;  naturalize  or 
naturalise  ;  patronize  or  patronise.  These 
words  are  mostly  verbs,  and  are  chiefly  de- 
rived from  Greek  words  ending  in  ujw,  or 
from  French  words  ending  in  iser  or  iV. 
There  are  a  few  from  other  sources,  but  formed 
in  analogy  with  those  derived  from  these 
languages.  Those  formed  from  Greek  words 
have  the  termination  ize  ;  as,  characterize, 
dramatize,  tantalize.  The  words  catechise  and 
exorcise  are  exceptions.  Those  formed  in  an 
analogous  manner  from  English  words  are  like- 
wise written  with  ize ;  as,  memorize.  Those 
derived  from  the  French  verb  prendre  (par- 
ticiple pris,  or  prise)  end  in  ise;  as,  apprise, 
comprise,  emprise,  enterprise,  surprise.  Of  those 
formed  from  French  words  other  than  prendre, 
or  which  have  corresponding  forms  in  the 
French,  a  majority  end  in  ize,  though  in  re- 
spect to  some  of  them  usage  is  variable  ;  as, 
civilize,  organize,  satirize.  The  following  are 
the  principal  English  verbs  ending  in  is>  ; 


i  namely,  advertise,  advise,  apprise,  catechiu,  chas- 
tisf.  circumcise,  comprise,  compromise,  criticise, 
demise,  despise,  devise,  d is/ran c/iise,  disguise, 
divert  ire,  emprise,  enfranchise,  enterprise,  tx'r- 
cise,  exorcise,  franchise,  misprise,  premise,  re- 
prise, revise,  supervise,  surmise,  surprise.  It  may 
be  remarked  that  most  of  those  in  respect  to 
which  usage  varies  are  more  frequently  written 
in  England  with  the  termination  ise,  and  in 
tue  United  States  with  the  termination  ize. 

§  154  (32).  The  words  mold  and  molt,  and 
their  compounds  and  derivatives,  are  written  hi 
this  Dictionary  with  o  instead  of  on,  in  analogy 
with  the  words  bold,  bolt,  colt,  gold,  &c.,  from 
which  the  u  has  been  dropped.  Most  authors, 
however,  write  these  words  mould  and  moult, 
and  their  derivatives  in  like  manner. 

§  155  (33).  There  is  a  numerous  class  of 
words  almost  universally  written,  in  the  United 
States,  with  the  termination  or,  man}'  of  which 
are  written,  in  England,  with  the  termination 
our;  as,  candor,  favor,  honor,  labor,  rumor, 
vigor.  English  usage,  however,  is  far  from  be- 
ing uniform  with  respect  to  these  words,  many 
of  them  being  written  with  or  in  English  books.

PRONOUNCING  VOCABULARY 


OF 


GREEK   AND    LATIN    PROPER  NAMES. 


RULES 


FOE  PRONOUNCING  THE  VOWELS  AND  CONSONANTS  OF  GREEK  AND  LATIN  PROPER 

NAMES. 


RULES  FOR  THE  VOWELS. 

1.  Any  vowel  at  the  end  of  an  accented  sylla- 
ble, and  e,  o,  and  u.  at  the  end  of  an  unac- 
cented syllable,  hare  the  long  English  sound; 
as,  Ca'to,  Ce'crops,  Di'cJo,  So' Ion,  Cu'mse,  Me- 
lis'sa,  Mo-los'sus,   Tu-lin'gi ;   in  which  words 
the  final  vowels  of  the  first  syllables  have  the 
same  sound  as  the  corresponding  vowels  irt-the 
first  syllables  of  the  English  words  pa'per,  ce'- 
r/nr,  si1  lent,  co'lon,  ilu'ty. 

2.  A  ending  an  unaccented  syllable  has  the 
sound  of  a  in  fa'tker  or  in  last ;  as,  Ga-bi'na, 
A-re'ne,  pronounced  Gak-lji'nah,  Ah-re'ne. 

3.  /ending  a  final  syllable  has  the  long  sound, 
as    To'mi.      At  the  end  of  initial  unaccented 
syllables  it   varies,  somewhat  indefinitely,  be- 
tween i  long,  as  I-u'lus,  and  i  short  (like  i  in 
pin),  as  in  I-tn'li-a,    In  all  other  cases  i  ending 
an  unaccented  syllable  has  its  short  sound,  as 
in  pin. 

4.  Y  is  pronounced  as  i  would  be  in  the  same 
situation. 

5.  JE  and  <z  are  pronounced  as  e  would  be  in 
the  same  situation. 

6.  If  a  syllable  end  in  a  consonant,  the  vowel 
has  the  short  English  sound  ;  as,  Bal'bus,  Del'- 
p/ii,  Cin'na,  Mos'chus,  Tus'cus,  in  which  the 
vowels  have  the  same  sounds  as  in  the  English  • 
words  inan'ner,  sel'dom,  din'ner,  scoffer,  mus'- 
ter. 

EXCEPTION.  —  E  in  final  es  is  pronounced  as 
in  the  familiar  proper  name  An'des. 

RULES  FOR  THE  CONSONANTS. 

7.  Cbefore  e, »',  y,  x,  and  a,  is  pronounced 
like  s;    before  a,  o,  and  «,  and  before  conso- 
nants, like  k;  as  Ce'a,  Cic'e-ro,  Cy'prus,  Cx'-' 
sar,  Cce'li-a,  Ca'to,  Co'cles,  Cv/mSR. 


8.  G  before  e,  i,  y,  aj,  &,  or  another  g  fol- 
lowed by  e,  has  the  sound  ofj;  before  a,  o,  and 
u,  and  before  consonants  other  than  g,  as  above 
excepted,  the  hard  sound,  as  in  the  English 
words  gave,  gone;    as    Ge'lo,  Gi-gan'tes,  Gy- 
gx'us,  Ag'ge.r ;  Ga'bi-i,  Gor'gi-as,  Sa-gun'tum. 

9.  Cii  has  the  sound  of  k,  but  it  is  silent  be- 
fore a  mute  consonant  at  the  beginning  of  a 
word ;  as,  C/it/io'nin,  pronounced  T/io'ni-a. 

10.  T,  s,  and  c,  before  ia,ie,  ii,  j'o,  I'M,  and 
eu,  preceded    immediately    by  the  accent,   in 
Latin  words,  as  in  English,  change  into  s/i  and 
zh.     But  when  the  t  follows  s,  t,  or  z,  or  when 
the  accent  falls  on  the  first  of  the  vowels  fol- 
lowing, the  consonant  preserves  its  pure  sound  ; 
as,  Sal-lux' 'ti-us,  Brut'ti-i,  Mil-ti'a-rlex,  &c.     T 
in  the  termination  tion  also  retains  its  original 
sound;  as,  T/ie,-o-cfo'li-on. 

11.  S  has,  in  general,  the  sound  of  s  in  this. 
Final  s  preceded  by  e,  or  a  liquid,  has  the 
sound  of  z. 

12.  Initial  x  has  the  sound  of  z. 

13.  Initial  ph  before  a  mute  is  silent ;    as, 
Phthi'a,  pronounced  Tlii'a.     Initial  p  before  .« 
is  silent ;   as,  Psy'che,  pronounced  Sy'ke.     Ini- 
tial p  before  t  is  silent ;  as  Ptol-e-mx'us,  pro- 
nounced Tol-e-msc'us. 

14.  At  the  beginning  of  words  we  frequently 
find   the  uncombinable  consonants    mn.    tm, 
&c. ;  as,  Mne-mos'y-ne ,  Tmo'lus,  &c.      These 
are  to  be   prononnced  with    the   first   conso- 
nant mute,  as  if  written  Nt-mos'y-ne,  Mo'lus, 
&c. 

REMARK.    1.    The  termination   eus,  derived 

from  the  third  declension  of  Greek  contracts  in 

evs,  although  usually  made  a  single  syllable  in 

poetry,  is  resolved  iato   two   syllables  in   the

Table.  This  is  also  done  by  Walker  and  Trol- 
lope,  and  it  is  defended  by  Labbe  and  Carr. 
The  other  syllabication,  by  which  eus  has  the 
Bound  of  use,  as  in  the  noun  abuse,  is  also 
given ,  and  is  generally  to  be  preferred. 

2.  The   names  in  Italics  are   the  Anglicized 
forms  of  the  classical  names  above  them  ;  and 


each  for  himself  must  judge  whether  to  adhere 
to  the  classical  pronunciation  or  not. 

3.  Diacritical  marks  are  used,  in  this  Vocabu- 
lary, to  indicate  the  soft  sounds  of  c,  g,  and 
x,  in  some  cases,  as  in  JE-ac.'i-rJts,  JE-ge'ri-a, 
A-ehil'les ;  also,  when  n  has  the  sound  of  ng,  as 


The  abbreviations  Pic.,  F.,  K.,  Pe.,  Fat.,  .S.. 
Py.,  C.,  L.,  Lid.,  E.,  For.,  Scfi.,  IK,  M.,  and

thorities, viz.,  Prtfsow,  Freunil,  Klotz,  Pope, 
Facciolati,  Smit/i,  Pauly,  Carr,  Labl~,  LiddeU 
tf  Scott,  Eischoff  if  Moller,  Forbiger,  ticheUw,

which  follow  certain  words  in  the  Vocabulary 
refer  to  corresponding  Rules  of  Pronunciation. 
The  figure  6,  for  example,  appended  to  Aitnntes, 
refers  to  Rule  6,  which  shows  that  the  vowel  in 
the  last  syllable  has  its  long  English  sound.

PRONOUNCING    VOCABULARY 


OF 


SCRIPTUEE  PROPER  NAMES. 


THE  following  Vocabulary  contains  a  careful 
•election  of  such  Scripture  names  as  present 
any  difficulty  of  pronunciation  :  but  classical 
names  occurring  in  the  Scriptures,  and  given 
in  the  preceding  vocabulary  of  Greek  and  Latin 
names,  are  for  the  most  part  omitted.  That 
mode  of  pronunciation  which  is  deemed  to  be 
best  supported,  is  given  first,  and  any  other 
pronunciation  which  has,  to  any  considerable 
extent,  the  sanction  of  present  and  reputable 
usage,  is  subjoined  as  an  alternative  mode. 
The  names  have  been  accented,  divided  into 
syllables,  and  marked  in  accordance  with  the 
system  of  notation  employed  in  the  previous 
part  of  this  work.  The  consulter  will  not, 
therefore,  require  anj7  Rules  to  guide  him  to  a 
correct  pronunciation  of  the  names  here  given, 
but  with  reference  to  those  which  are  omitted, 
it  will  be  well  for  him  to  remember,  — 


1.  That,  in  words  of  two  syllables,  theaccen 
is  uniformly  on  the  first. 

2.  That,  in  words  of  two  syllables  in  which, 
the  accented  vowel  is  separated  from  the  next 
syllable   by  only  one  consonant  or  by  a  con- 
sonant digraph,  the  consonant  or  the  digraph 
generally  goes  to  the  following  syllables  ;  as, 
A'r/in,  Jo'tham,  &c. 

3    That  ck  always  has  the  sound  of  k. 

4.  That  g  is  always  hard,  as  in  go. 

5.  That  every  final  t  forming — with  or  with- 
out a  preceding  consonant —  a  distinct  syllable, 
has  its  long  sound;  as  in  A-bish'a-l,  Ab'dl. 

6.  That  the  terminations  ites  and  enes  (as  in 
Gil'e-art-ites,  Gad'a-renes,  &c. ), are  pronounced 
in  one  syllable. 

7.  That  in  other   respects  Scripture  names 
usually  follow  the  analogy  of  Latin  prouuncia- 
tftn.    See  p.  339.

3i  £>  L  Qi  marked  with  this  sign  [J  under- 
neath, have  an  obscure  sound  similar  to 
that  of  short  «,  but  are  usually  consid- 
erably shorter,  and,  indeed,  sometimes  are 
almost  mute:  thus,  Grat'tan  might  be  pro- 
nounced grat'tfin  or  grat't'n ;  Hel'ler,  htil/- 
lur  or  hel'l'r,  &c. 

a,  S,  o  are  similar  in  sound  to  a,  e,  o,  but  are 
not  to  be  pronounced  so  long. 

U  is  employed  to  denote  the  long  sound  of  a. 

b  has  a  sound  similar  to  e  in  her;  it  may  be 
Anglicized  by  e. 

U  represents  the  sound  of  the  German  it  and 
the  French  u,  which  are  uttered  with  the 
lips  in  the  position  for  oo  and  the  tongue 
in  that  for  ee  ;  it  may  be  Anglicized  by  the 
English  M. 

U,  small  capital,  is  intended  to  represent  the 
sound  of  the  French  eu,  which  is  pro- 
nounced nearly  like  u  iii  the  English  word 
fur. 

B,  small  capital,  is  used  to  denote  the  sound  of 
b  in  Spanish,  often  nearly  approximating 
that  of  v. 

D,  small  capital,  is  intended  to  represent  a 
sound  similar  to  th  in  this. 

Q  and  K,  small  capitals,  indicate  a  peculiar 
guttural  sound  of  the  German  ch,  or  one 
similar  to  it. 

16 


H,  small  capital,  has  a  sound  somewhat  similar 
to  the  preceding,  but  more  resembling  a 
strongly  aspirated  h. 

1  (I  liquid)    is   to  be  pronounced   like   tti  in 

million;  it  blends  the  sounds  of  I  and  y 
consonant. 

M  and  N,  small  capitals,  are  used  in  the  re- 
spelling  of  French  words,  to  represent  the 
nasal  sound  of  the  preceding  vowel,  and 
are  not  themselves  to  be  pronounced.  The 
French  nasal  vowels  are  aN,  ON,  ON,  HN,  be- 
ing similar  in  sound  to  ang,  5ng,  ong,  ung. 

2  is  pronounced  like  ni  in  minion  ;   it  blends 

the  sounds  of  n  and  y  consonant. 

R,  small  capital,  has  nearly  the  sound  of  rr  in 
terror,  but  stronger. 

s  is  used  to  indicate  that  the  sound  of  the  .1  is 
very  soft,  nearly  resembling  our  z.  In 
the  middle  of  a  word  it  should  be  pro- 
nounced like  a  soft  z. 

w  has  a  sound  similar  to  our  v.  The  "  over 
the  w  is  intended  to  point  out  its  alliance  to 
our  v. 

y  and  ey  at  the  end  of  an  unaccented  syllable 
sound  like  i  in  pin. 

au  and  aw  have  the  sound  of  o  in  fall. 

ee  indicates  the  clear  sound  of  short  t  before  r, 
as  in  the  English  words  spirit,  miracle,  &c. 

ow  is  to  be  pronounced  like  ow  in  cow,  and  ou 
like  ou  in  house.  In  respelling  for  pronun- 
ciation, ow  has  been  replaced  by  ou  wher- 
ever the  former  combination  would  be 
liable  to  be  pronounced  like  6,  as  in  grow, 
tow,  &.c. 

e  other  marked  letters  are  the  same  as 
those  used  in  the  body  of  the  Dictionary.

\*  The  "  Exercises  "  given  below  are  designed  to  furnish  material  for  instruction  and  prac- 
tice in  the  etymological  analysis  of  English  words.  It  is  suggested  that  a  certain  number  of  pre- 
fixes or  suffixes  be  assigned  as  a  lesson  for  study,  and  that  the  pupil  be  required  to  ascertain  and 
explain  the  literal  meaning  of  the  examples  appended  to  them,  including  the  root  as  well  as  the 
formative  syllables.  To  aid  in  this,  the  use  of  Webster's  Quarto  or  Octavo  ("  National ")  Dic- 
tionarv  will  be  necessary. 


PREFIXES. 

A,  a  prefix  to  many  English 
words,  is  in  some  cases  a  con- 
traction of  on,  in,  at,  of,  to, 
for ;  as, ablaze  for  in  a  blaze, 
aboard  for  on  board,  afoot 
for  on  foot,  aground  for  on 
the  ground,  ado  for  to  do, 
await  for  wait  for.  In  other 
cases,  it  is  contracted  from 
the  A.-S.  inseparable  particle 
ge-.  which  forms  verbs  from 
verbs,  substantives,  adjec- 
tives, and  is  a  sort  of  aug- 
ment to  the  past  participle. 
In  some  cases,  it  only  in- 
creases the  force  of  the  word, 
without  any  essential  addi- 
tion of  meaning.  —  In  some 
words  of  Greek  origin,  a  gives 
them  a  negative  sense  :  before 
a  vowel  it  becomes  an.  In 
a  few  words  of  Latin  origin, 
it  is  another  form  of  the  pre- 
fix ab.
